About Balance & Bloom
At Balance and Bloom, we believe that mental and emotional balance is the foundation of well-being. The brain, our body’s control center, processes and regulates our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. However, life’s challenges can often disrupt this balance, leading to stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns.
This platform focuses on restoring this balance by equipping you with healthy coping strategies. These strategies help you manage stress, regulate emotions, and enhance cognitive function, ensuring your brain operates at its optimal capacity. Once balance is restored, you begin to bloom — growing into your most authentic self, embracing personal growth, and living with purpose. With the right support and tools, your potential can flourish.
Explore Balance & Bloom’s online wellness counselling services — including individual and couples sessions for stress, trauma, and emotional well-being. Holistic, accessible support for every stage of life.

It was my first session, and needless to say, it was an eye-opener. Even though I was extremely nervous, Farheen creates a warm, welcoming environment that invites you to speak openly without feeling overwhelmed. I’m excited to continue my counselling journey with her.

I just wanted to thank you for being so gentle and kind to me during our first session. I say that because my first experience with a therapist was horrible, I felt judged but I felt as though I am in good hands with you today and that you would guide me properly through me healing journey. I am looking forward to working with you and healing parts of myself that need to be healed.

Balance and Bloom has really been life changing for me. I have gained confidence and been dealing and realising my triggers more and more each day. Thanks so much Mrs Gaffoor for walking me through my journey and helping me discover a better me.

The therapy sessions I had were for 3 months. This space was my safe space, where I was comfortable to share my feelings or emotions without being judged. They were a couple of things I needed professional help on since I was struggling. They were methods used to tackle my issues which were communicated with me and safety was always a priority. The challenges I had most were solved and I am at a better space now when I revisit the things that haunted me then. Mentally I am in a better space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in my first online wellness counselling session?
Your first session is a chance to share what’s on your mind and what you’d like to work on. Together, we’ll set goals and create a plan that feels right for you.
How long is a session and how many will I need?
Sessions are 60 minutes long. The number of sessions depends on your goals — some people see progress quickly, while others prefer ongoing support.
What issues can you help with?
We work with anxiousness, stress, burnout, trauma, grief, addiction, substance abuse, relationship challenges, and self-esteem issues.
How do I book and pay for a session?
You can book online via Bookings page, which will contain payment details as well. Payments can be made via EFT.
Do you offer online counselling only?
Yes — all sessions take place online via Google Meet or WhatsApp video call so you can access support from anywhere.
Do you accept medical aid?
No — we cannot claim directly from medical aid as we do not issue ICD codes or make diagnoses. However, you can pay for your session, receive a receipt, and submit it to your medical aid under “wellness benefits,” “mental health benefits,” or “extended benefits.” Approval depends on your specific plan — some clients have successfully claimed through Bonitas and Discovery Health. We recommend confirming with your medical aid before starting sessions.
