With that four year experience, an undying fascination and love for people was born along with a Bachelor of Psychology (Counselling) degree with Cum Laude.<\/p><p>I am currently a board qualified Registered Counsellor who is registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. As a part of my degree, I completed a sixth month internship, where I received some of my first experiences as a Registered Counsellor intern. During my time as a student, I was also a part of various extra courses, projects, volunteer and community work with people from different communities, cultures, beliefs and lifestyles.<\/p><p>I want to dedicate my time, through my work as a professional, to bring basic psychological skills to the general public, especially to people who don\u2019t have easy access or a basic understanding and awareness of the benefits of psychology and the counselling experience. I hope to achieve this goal by offering my services as a counsellor who will be working in my own private practice.<\/p><p>If you want to know more about me, my current interests include writing, reading and blogging as I currently have my own blog titled \u201cMe\u201d. I began my Christian Lifestyle blog because I want to provide more platforms that allow people, of all ages, to be authentically themselves, unapologetic for their quirks, accepting of their individuality and free to embrace their imperfections. I love all things to do with movies, art and poetry. My favourite colour is pink, I own two incredible rescue cats and I love music. I consider myself to be a foodie and sneakerhead, but most importantly I believe that my purpose is to change the world by making it a place filled with unconditional love. I hope to do this through who I am as a person and through my work as a counsellor.<\/p><p>For more information on the services that I offer, please feel free to explore my website and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amyeksteen.co.za\/contact\/\">contact me<\/a>\u00a0if you would like to.<br \/>I look forward to hearing from you!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab0d568 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ab0d568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"139\" src=\"https:\/\/amyeksteen.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Amy-signature.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-801\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amyeksteen.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Amy-signature.png 500w, https:\/\/amyeksteen.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Amy-signature-300x83.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did my qualification at Nelson Mandela University.
