Salome Mbenjele, ACA

Salome Mbenjele is an ACA counsellor in Australia with over 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those working through family conflict, trauma, self-esteem and motivation concerns. Salome communicates in plain language and aims for clear, practical conversations about what is worrying you now.

She focuses on what people can do day to day to feel steadier. Sessions often involve noticing thoughts and behaviours, trying small changes, and checking what helps. Salome uses a mix of evidence-informed tools so the work is concrete rather than theoretical.

Her style is interactive and direct. She listens, asks straightforward questions, and works with each person to set realistic steps between sessions. People who prefer an approachable, task-focused discussion will find this method useful when managing stress or rebuilding confidence.

Salome draws from cognitive behavioural techniques alongside acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking and client-centred principles. That combination is used to address how past relationships shape current patterns, and to develop practical skills for day-to-day situations. She helps people apply strategies rather than relying on abstract explanations.

She also has experience with a wider range of concerns such as ageing and caregiver stress, attachment difficulties, neurodiversity-related issues, codependency and blended family issues. Conversations about loyalty conflicts or merging households are handled in straightforward, non-judgemental terms.

Sessions are conducted in languages Salome speaks, including English, Ndebele and Shona. If you want to explore whether her approach fits your situation, follow the site prompts to view online therapy options and schedule an initial session.
