About Dr Helena Niedinger

Dr Helena Niedinger is a dedicated Counselling Psychologist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) based in Pretoria, South Africa. With deep compassion and professional expertise, she supports individuals, couples, and families through emotional pain, trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, addiction, self-esteem challenges, and spiritual conflict.

Dr Niedinger integrates psychological science, body-based therapeutic methods, and — where appropriate — spiritual perspectives to help clients access deeper healing and long-term emotional wellbeing.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that:

• True healing involves both the mind and body.

• Personal growth requires self-understanding, self-compassion, and resilience.
