Lorinda Pretorius

Hi, I'm Lorinda

I’m a Registered Counsellor and Speaker based in Centurion, South Africa, offering both in-person counselling in Centurion & Pretoria and online counselling for clients across South Africa, the UK, and Europe.

I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore life’s challenges, strengthen your relationships, and move toward healing and growth. Whether you’re seeking Christian counselling, couples counselling, or help with sexuality and relationship concerns, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

My Focus Areas

I specialise in working with:

Teenagers and young adults navigating sexuality, relationships, and identity
Couples looking to rebuild trust, improve communication, or strengthen their bond
Individuals dealing with trauma, grief, or pornography addiction
Those seeking Christian counselling for faith-based guidance

Whether you’re struggling with heartbreak, family dynamics, or questions about faith and identity, my approach integrates evidence-based strategies with warmth, empathy, and—when desired—a Christian perspective.

My Approach

I believe counselling should feel like a safe pause from the chaos of life - a space where you can show up as you are, without judgement or pressure to “fix” yourself. My work is guided by honesty, empathy, and a touch of humour, because I know healing is as much about gentleness as it is about courage.

No two people share the same story, which is why I don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. Together, we’ll shape a way forward that feels true to you - drawing from both evidence-based tools and the deeper wisdom of your own resilience.

At the heart of my approach is a belief that our struggles don’t define us - they can be the building blocks for growth, connection, and even grace. That’s what makes my counselling style different: it’s not just about problem-solving, but about helping you reclaim your story and discover the strength you already carry.

In-Person Counselling in Centurion & Pretoria

For clients in Centurion and Pretoria, my practice is based in Clubview, Centurion. In-person sessions are ideal for anyone who values face-to-face support in a safe, welcoming environment.

Whether you need Christian counselling online, couples therapy online, or support with grief and trauma, you can access help from the comfort of your home.
