About Karabo

Karabo Makhetha offers friendly, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She presents as calm and practical. Her work suits people who want straightforward, respectful help to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Karabo has three years of professional experience in Australia and holds PACFA, a counselling credential. She has supported people dealing with depression, panic attacks, social anxiety and phobias. She also helps with self-esteem, self-love, career worries and feelings of isolation.

02

How Karabo works

She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear steps and helpful strategies rather than jargon. Karabo aims to make goals manageable so progress feels steady, not overwhelming.

Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion. She has experience working with people with disabilities and neurodiverse profiles and tailors her approach to suit different ways of communicating and processing information. Karabo encourages small, practical changes that build confidence over time.

She supports people to understand patterns that keep them stuck and try new ways of responding. The work is collaborative - the client sets the pace and priorities while she offers guidance and structure.

Online support options

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Karabo uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and improved coping. One common approach she draws on teaches breathing and grounding tools alongside short behavioural experiments to reduce panic and manage anxiety symptoms. These techniques help people notice patterns and try small, controlled changes to feel less overwhelmed.

Another approach emphasises building self-esteem and clearer communication. This involves identifying unhelpful self-talk, practising kinder internal messages, and rehearsing brief communication skills to improve how someone expresses needs and sets boundaries. These steps suit people working on relationships, career confidence or social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different strategies, then adapt the plan accordingly. This collaborative process means approaches can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps when face-to-face style interaction is useful. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a focused conversation is needed. Live chat and messaging provide brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, study and daily life.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
