He holds qualifications in HIV counselling from Wits University, Substance Abuse Disorder and Addictions counselling from SANCA, Psychology from the University of Toronto, Sociology from the University of South Wales, and Child Counselling from College SA.

The counseling I received from Anima Wellness freed me of my anxiety and depression. I can now function normally.

The nurses at Anima Wellness Centre treated my grandmother with the utmost care and compassion. They were always attentive to her needs and made her feel loved and cared for. I am so grateful for their dedication and support.

I have been seeing a counselor at Anima Wellness Centre for the past six months and I have found it to be a very helpful experience. My counselor is a skilled professional who has helped me to understand my emotions and develop coping mechanisms. I am feeling much better than I was when I first started seeing a counselor and I am confident that I will continue to make progress. I highly recommend Anima Wellness Centre to anyone in need of counseling services.
