Penelope Ngoveni
Relationship and Marriage Counselling
It was my first time talking to a Therapist.
Shelley made it easy for me. we had a good session and I'm considering booking another session soon.
What do you love most about your job?
I love helping people to realize their potential. I love helping people to build their self esteem. I love helping people.... period! It is in my nature.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I decided to start my own business in order to grow my experience and to challenge myself. Working in a rehabilitation environment has taught me a lot.
Why should our clients choose you?
As I said helping is part of who I am. I will go the extra mile for my clients and if I am unable to assist you, I will refer you to the correct person. For me it is not about money at all.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I can provide services online or remotely on any platform. I use MS Teams, Zoom, What's App Video Calls and Skype.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
My counselling area is not too small and there is plenty of room for social distancing. I take responsibility for myself and would never put a client in jeopardy. Sanitizer and Masks are available in case you forget yours.
