Charleen du Plessis
My name is Charleen and I am a member of Signo Professional Association and have signed a SignoPro ethics code of conduct in the interest of my clients and my growth as a practitioner.
I started my Pastoral Narrative Therapy studies in 2018. This enriched my life in many ways and made me aware of how important it is to listen, really listen to the stories people tell.
Realising that every person is the expert on their own lives, giving them a safe space, time and attention, with no judgement, has resulted in many alive to be changed and hope lived in hopeless situations. Simcha Recovery and Narrative therapy has given me a voice after having experienced an abusive relationship and losing everything. Giving a voice to the person and not the problem!
Being involved with Simcha Recovery and Warrior Woman enables me to give back from my own experience, and Narrative therapy has given me this opportunity.
