One hour. You talk. I listen.
Life and work demand a lot of you, and everyone around you needs you to be fine. So it stays in you. This is one hour where you say it out loud instead, and nothing about it is written down.
You book an hour. You talk, I listen the whole way through. Not therapy, not coaching, and no programme to join. You do not have to be in crisis, and you do not need a reason that sounds serious enough.
- The hourOne hour, one on one. You talk. I listen the whole way through.
- WhereIn person in Johannesburg, or over Zoom.
- CostR1,250 for the hour, invoiced once you book. Outside South Africa, $100, paid at booking.
- RecordsNone. No notes, no recording, no file. One exception the law requires, set out below.
- What it isn'tNot therapy, not coaching, not a debrief. Not one word goes to your employer.
What you get.
If you want my thoughts, ask and you will get them straight. If you do not want them, I will not offer them. Most of the value was never going to be in what I say back. It is in saying it out loud to someone who is not in your life, not on your team, and not going to carry it around afterwards.
Holding space is the work. That is the whole offering.
You don't need a reason that sounds serious enough.
Private security, doctors, surgeons, paramedics. Work where something bad happens and you are expected to be fine for the next appointment. If you have been near the top of your range for months and nothing has come along to bring you down, that is reason enough on its own.
It does not have to be the job either. A marriage, a business, a diagnosis, a stretch where you stopped recognising yourself. Ordinary and heavy still counts.
What most people who book have in common is that you are the one everybody else comes to, and nobody comes to you.
Three things it is not.
It is not therapy, and I am not a therapist. No diagnosis, no treatment, no clinical anything. If what you bring needs a clinician, I will tell you straight and help you find one.
It is not coaching. No programme, no homework, no plan, nothing to commit to. You are not starting something. You are booking an hour.
It is not a debrief. Nobody is gathering information, nothing is being assessed, and not one word goes to your employer, your practice or anyone. If your company bought the hours, all they ever see is an invoice and a number. Not who booked, not when, not a word of it.
You book an hour. That's the whole process.
No call first. No form asking what is wrong. No questions to get through before you qualify. You pick a time and you take it.
I am in Johannesburg. If you can get to me, we sit down, and for most people that is the better hour. If you are somewhere else, or you would rather not be seen walking in anywhere, Zoom works too.
Start anywhere. You do not need it organised before you arrive, and you do not need to get to a point. Silence is fine too.
No follow-up unless you want one. Book again next week, or next year, or never. There is no programme here to fall off. If the hour opens something up and you would rather I checked in that evening, there is a box for it when you book.
Nothing is written down.
No notes. No recording. No file. Nothing that exists after you hang up.
There is one thing the law takes out of my hands.
If I am told about sexual abuse of a child or of a vulnerable person, or about abuse of an older person, I am required by law to report it. That duty sits on every person in this country and not only on me, and I would rather you knew it before you booked than found out afterwards.
Nothing else leaves the hour. Not your employer, not your practice, not your family, and not a note in a file somewhere.
I don't know your job. I know what it is to carry something nobody can see.
I am not a surgeon, and I have never worked an armed response shift, so I am not going to pretend I understand what your week is actually like. What I do know is being responsible for other people in places where help is a long way away, and I have been doing that for twenty-five years. In May 2026 I crossed the Greenland ice cap, 553km, team and unsupported.
The point is whether you can say something out loud and have it received properly, by someone who does not flinch and does not need you to be fine. That is the thing I am good at.
If you need help right now, start here.
This is an hour with me. It is not an emergency service, and there are times when the right thing is someone trained for exactly that.
If you are in crisis right now, or you are thinking about ending your life, the SADAG Suicide Crisis Helpline is 0800 567 567. It is free and it is answered twenty-four hours a day. Lifeline South Africa is 0861 322 322. If you work in healthcare, the Healthcare Workers Care Network answers an SMS to 43001.
Call them first. The hour with me will still be here afterwards.
You can buy hours for your people.
If you run a security company, a practice or a team, you can put hours on account and let your people use them. Same hour, same promise, only the invoice changes.
What you get back is an invoice and the number of hours used. Nothing else. No names, no themes, no summary of what your people are raising, no sense of who booked and who did not. If any of that existed, nobody would use it, and you would have paid for something worthless.
Book an hour.
You do not have to know what you want to say before you get there.
In person in Johannesburg, or over Zoom. Nothing written down.
Outside South Africa, book here.
