James Benson – Owner & Founder

 

James Benson is from Anambra, in South East Nigeria. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication from Abia State University. He moved to South Africa in 2015. 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.

He worked for the Wits Health Consortium as an HIV/AIDS counsellor, and with Jesuit Refugee Services as a trauma counsellor, focusing on LGBTI refugees and on women refugee victims of sexual violence. He provided end of life accompaniment to the terminally ill, and bereavement counselling to the family members and loved ones left behind.

James is passionate about restoring hope, wholeness and balance to clients. Each human being contains the breath of the Divine Creator, which is the source of life. Re-connecting clients with the Divine within themselves is the key to healing and wholeness.

At Anima Wellness Centre you are not just a paying client entitled to services according to your payment plan. James welcomes each client as a friend, a brother or a sister.

Individual Counselling

Individual counseling, also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy, is a collaborative process between a trained therapist and a client who meet one-on-one to explore the client’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It provides a confidential and supportive space where individuals can address a wide range of concerns

Relationship and Family Counselling

Family/Relationship counseling, also known as couples counseling or marital counseling, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on improving relationships within a family or between partners in a romantic relationship. It provides a safe and supportive space for individuals and families to address a wide range of concerns

Trauma and Bereavement Counselling

Trauma/Bereavement counseling, also known as grief counseling or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) therapy, is a therapeutic approach that specifically addresses the emotional and psychological effects of trauma and loss. It provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to process their experiences, develop coping mechanisms, and begin the healing process

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.
