IMPROVE YOUR
QUALITY OF LIFE
Life can be challenging and even problematic at times, leaving us overwhelmed
and unable to cope.
However, all circumstances, no matter how bleak, contain resources and all
people possess strengths that can be advanced or uncovered to improve one’s
quality of life.
One way of doing just that, is by working through your problems with a
psychologist.
This process normally involves identifying and exploring the problem, verbalizing
thoughts and feelings regarding the problem, and ultimately through a process of
cooperation between the client and the psychologist, finding meaningful
solutions to problems by focusing on one’s strengths.

ELZABÉ OLIVIER
After registering as Counselling psychologist in 2004, I worked as a marital and
family counsellor at FAMSA Outeniqua in George, Southern Cape for two years.
During this period, I started a part-time practice. It is also during the same time
that my affiliation with one of the world’s leading Employee Wellness Programmes
started and has been ongoing until present. I then accepted a position as principal
psychologist for the Southern Cape region at the SAPS that taught me a wealth of
knowledge in the area of organisational health and wellness. It also gave me in
depth exposure to trauma debriefing.
For the past 15 years I have been operating in a full-time private practice
capacity consisting of an adult and child client base in Port Elizabeth.
I’m a married mother of a teenage son, I enjoy cycling and hiking in nature.

for children in group format facilitating Mindfulness workshops in organisations to
support the wellness of employees.
