Gert Moolman Counselling

Gert Moolman Counselling I have been actively involved in the field of recovery since Aug 2006.

I have eight years of experience working in leading primary care facilities and my own journey enables me to have a unique understanding of how the mind of an addict works. I have been there myself and with the help of my Higher Power and the 12 Step programme, I have been set free 14 years ago. I have a Diploma in Counselling from the South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP). I am grateful that I have been shown my purpose in life and my passion is to share my experience, strength and hope with the still suffering addict and/or alcoholic.

Some traditions are worth keeping.

The smell of the braai. The recipes nobody measures. The stories we’ve heard a hundred times. The laughter, the people and the traditions that somehow make us feel at home.

Heritage is about more than where we come from — it’s also about the good things we choose to carry forward.

Here’s to keeping the good stuff. 🇿🇦🔥

Happy Heritage Day from Gert Moolman Counselling.

Start With One Conversation!

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you ask for help. Sometimes the first useful step is simply saying out loud what has been difficult to carry on your own.

A conversation can create perspective, help you understand what’s really going on, and give you somewhere practical to begin.

You can start before you feel ready.

When Relationships Feel Harder

Sometimes distance in a relationship doesn’t happen all at once. It builds slowly through unresolved arguments, resentment, stress, addiction, avoidance or simply no longer knowing how to talk to each other.

Counselling isn’t about deciding who is right or wrong. It’s about understanding what has changed, what keeps getting in the way, and whether a healthier way forward is possible.

Connection can be rebuilt — but it usually starts with an honest conversation.

You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone!

When someone you care about is struggling with addiction or harmful behaviour, it can begin to consume your life too.

You may find yourself worrying, rescuing, checking, covering up, arguing or constantly waiting for the next crisis.

Supporting someone else doesn’t mean losing yourself in the process. Family members, partners and friends need support too.

It doesn’t have to be rock bottom!

Knowing that something needs to change and actually knowing how to change it are two very different things.

Patterns often become familiar long before they become healthy. We repeat them because they help us cope, avoid, escape or simply get through the day.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s understanding the pattern well enough to start making different choices.

Small changes still move you forward.

When Coping Stops Helping

Not everyone who struggles with alcohol, substances or compulsive behaviour reaches an obvious “rock bottom”.

Sometimes life still looks completely normal from the outside — work gets done, responsibilities are handled and nobody else knows how much effort it takes to keep everything together.

You don’t need to wait until everything falls apart before you take it seriously.

A different chapter can start much earlier than rock bottom.

Friday: Choose peace over the pattern

What small change can you make today?

Before the weekend starts, ask yourself:
What pattern do I not want to repeat?

The same argument.
The same drinking cycle.
The same avoidance.
The same impulsive choice.
The same promise to “start again Monday.”

Peace starts with awareness.And awareness gives you a chance to choose differently.

This weekend, choose one thing that supports the person you are trying to become.

For support for addiction, recovery, behaviour change and healthier relationships.

Thursday: Reach out instead of withdrawing

What small change can you make today?

Reach out before you disappear into yourself.
When life feels heavy, many people withdraw.

They stop replying, stop sharing, stop asking for help, and try to carry everything alone.
But isolation often makes the weight heavier.

Send the message.
Make the call.
Say, “I’m not doing great today.”

You do not need the perfect words to let someone in.

Wednesday: Do one thing differently

What small change can you make today?

Choose one thing you normally do on autopilot — and do it differently.

Instead of avoiding, speak up. Instead of reacting, pause.
Instead of isolating, reach out.
Instead of numbing, sit with the feeling.
Instead of saying “I’m fine,” be honest.

Change does not always begin with a life overhaul.

Sometimes it begins with one different choice in a familiar moment.

What small change can you make today?

Tuesday: Pause before reacting

When emotions are high, it is easy to say the thing, send the message, shut down, walk away, or repeat the same pattern.

A pause does not solve everything.
But it gives you a moment to choose differently.

Take a breath.
Step back.
Ask: “What am I really feeling right now?”

Sometimes the smallest pause can stop the biggest regret.

Support for relationships, communication and behaviour change.
