About me
About me:
My name is Magna Erasmus. I am a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist, dedicated to supporting individuals through their personal journeys. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Level 7 Diploma in Trauma Therapy, and an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Bath Spa. Over the years, I have gained valuable clinical experience in a variety of settings, including pastoral care, social care, and private practice.
My aim is to offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space for those who may be struggling. I understand that waiting for therapy through other agencies can feel overwhelming and discouraging, especially when mental health is in crisis. That’s why I am here to offer support, helping you explore and work through your difficulties in a way that feels safe and manageable.
I am deeply committed to the belief that talking therapy can create meaningful change. Based on my own experiences and the trust my clients have placed in me, I have seen first-hand how therapy can provide clarity, healing, and a sense of empowerment.
Whether you are seeking short-term or long-term support, I will be there every step of the way, creating a space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll explore the underlying causes of your distress—whether emotional, behavioural, or cognitive—and work toward finding peace, self-acceptance, and positive change.
My Philosophy & Approach:
I believe in the power of compassionate connection. I lean towards a relational approach which is rooted in honesty, empathy, and open communication, where you feel truly seen and supported. Therapy, to me, is not just about addressing problems; it’s about encouraging growth, healing, and the nurturing of your inner strength. I believe that, through this collaborative process, lasting change is not only possible but within your reach. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including but not limited to: Pscyhotherapy, CBT, Trauma therapy, relational therapy and somatic therapy.
My aim:
I am committed to providing a therapeutic space where you can feel safe to heal. Through mutual trust and respect, I aim to empower you to discover your inherent ability to grow, change, and thrive. I work with clients from all walks of life and have a culturally diverse practice. I work with clients aged 17 - 99 as I believe we are never too old to make changes and heal.
Where am I based:
I offer online therapy via video calling, skype, facetime and whatssapp video or via telephone.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
