WELCOME

"Silentia..."

Silentia is the Latin word for “silences”.
It describes and embraces our approach to each and every client. Silences are effectively used in a safe space to help the brain do the necessary processing by itself.

We believe...

  • we can be absolutely certain, even without scientific studies, that all people have some degree of trauma.
  • this gets stuck in their minds and bodies and causes immense pain and suffering.
  • we can help ordinary people to relieve their stress and anxiety to improve their quality of life.
  • in life-long learning.

 

Mission Statement

“To help dysfunctional adults
struggling with everyday life
to process the underlying trauma and anxiety
in order to become the person they were meant to be”

Our Guarantee

  1. Time is precious. You will never have to wait in a waiting room for your appointment. If you wait longer than 15 minutes for your session, the session is free of charge.
  2. You will see and feel the benefit after every session.
  3. The counselling will end the day that you do not benefit from the sessions anymore.  
  4. When we can’t help you, you will be referred to someone who can.

MEET OUR COUNSELLOR

Johan Nickols

FOUNDER, Specialised counsellor &
TRE Facilitator
untitled-1 (1)
After completing his theological training at The University of Pretoria in 2001 and 18 years in full-time ministry, he discovered the preciousness and depth of "silence".

After 2 years of study and training, he qualified as a Spiritual Director and guided many people in contemplative spirituality and spiritual retreats. It was during this training that his path crossed with Perspective Training College in Potchefstroom. Here he discovered the wonder of Multi-Level Neuro-Processing (MLNP™) and its possibilities. He decided to specialise in Trauma and Anxiety counselling. He is a student of life, always learning and improving his skill and art. In 2023 he qualified as a Global Certified Trauma Release Exercises® (TRE®) Facilitator.

As a Specialist Counsellor registered with the Council for Pastoral and Spiritual Counsellors (CPSC) and affiliated with the Association of Christian Religious Practitioners (ACRP) he can help you even without you knowing the cause of the anger, anxiety, or sadness.
His motto in life is: "Live Consciously!" and he finds it sad that so many people die before they have really lived their lives to the fullest!

Testimonials

Petro Anxiety Client

Ek wil net sê dankie. Jy sal nooit weet hoeveel die sessies saam met jou vir my beteken het nie. Miskien is ek steeds soms oorweldig deur baie verskillende dinge en ek verstaan die "triggers" soveel beter as in die begin. Maar deur Jesus Christus wat my krag gee en elke dag die pad saam my stap is ek soveel meer as wat ek ooit gedink het ek sou wees!! Maar dankie ook vir jou tyd en moeite en geduld met my. Ek waardeer dit meer as wat jy ooit sal weet.... ...mag jy altyd mense se lewens bly verander!!

Louis MLNP

My name is Louis, and I was suffering from anxiety and depression which caused physical pain in my neck and severe tension headaches. I was in pain every day physically and emotionally that it had gotten so bad that I wanted to end it all. I wasn't the person that I used to be. After my second session unfortunately, lockdown happened, and I didn't continue with my sessions. It took just 2 sessions to change my mindset on how I viewed my life and with a little bit of self-searching, I was able to get through this. Actually, I owe you my life! I wouldn't have been here if you didn't push me to look at the world the way I wanted to and not supposed to.

BNI Member BNI East Rand

I just wanted to thank you for this morning's celebration of Vianda’s life. These things are never easy, and you turned into something real. I loved the way you made us think and how you allowed us to remember her. Thank you for trying to get us to make this tragedy something that we can learn from and better ourselves from. All the best 🙏

Ina MLNP / TRE

Ek het Johan begin sien nadat ek en my gesin Covid gehad het. Dit het als meegebring dat ek in 'n totale staat van angs en depressie verval het. Ek het paniek aanvalle gekry wanneer ek moet gaan werk of wanneer ek winkels toe moes gaan of enige iets of iemand buite my huisgesin moes sien. Maar stadig maar seker soos ons deur die proses begin werk het, het dit met my beter begin gaan. Ons het ook begin met "bewe-oefeninge" wat ek ook tuis begin doen het. Ek het al die trauma in my liggaam ervaar wat in my onderbewusyn vasgesteek het en het besef dat die hele Covid-storie maar net onopgelosde trauma weer na vore gebring het. ...Ek bewe glad nie meer onophoudelik deur my hele liggaam nie. Ek word nie meer naar nie. Ek kan weer my werk doen en winkels toe gaan. Johan het my werklik deur hierdie moeilike tyd gehelp en my die nodige tegnieke geleer om my spanning te verminder en myself te kalmeer.
