Brent Black Counselling - Pietermaritzburg

I first began my work as a counsellor in 2013. Although I now work primarily as an addiction counsellor, I also utilise my counselling and interpersonal skills in combination with my empathetic nature to empower both adolescents and adults, individuals as well as couples and families, in overcoming a range of personal struggles.

​

My professional experience includes several years of work as an outreach counsellor for a London-based charity providing health, community and youth services – particularly in relation to gender identity, sexual orientation and substance abuse issues. I have also worked as manager, addiction counsellor and programme co-ordinator at a residential rehabilitation facility in Pietermaritzburg.
