Aurora Brown, Registered Counsellor

Aurora Brown, Registered Counsellor Queer-friendly, intersectional, wheelchair-using Registered Counsellor, podcaster, and human rights activist. HPCSA reg.: PRC 0042951

I am a transgender woman and wheelchair-using amputee passionate about helping others overcome the obstacles to living their best lives. As a Registered Counsellor, I approach counselling through a decolonial, intersectional lens. My professional skills and training integrate the evidence-based principles of positive neuroplasticity, relational pattern analysis, schema theory, gender-affirming hea

lthcare, polyvagal theory, play interventions, and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).

* Counselling
I provide inclusive, person-centred counselling and mental health coaching for individual adults and adolescents. Counselling is also available for couples or pairs, groups, and family systems.

* Psychometrics
I offer gentle, accredited school-readiness assessments for Grade R learners, as well as subject choice guidance for Grade 9 learners and comprehensive career assessments for adults and Grade 11-12 learners.

* Psychoeducation
My psychoeducational workshops cover topics including gender diversity and sexual health, maternal mental health and reproduction, disability, identity development, emotional regulation, and stress or burnout. Disclaimer:

We will talk about your experiences in life and at school, and about what resources you wish had been available to you.
