Misha Jacobs

@mishajacobs

Registered Counsellor in private practice and school counsellor who supports children and communities through counselling and psychoeducational group work.

As a Registered Counsellor in Private Practice, I support people in their personal and professional lives. I passed the HPCSA board exam for Registered Counsellors with 84% in 2023.

At Monte Vista Primary School, I worked as a School Counsellor in 2026. I also worked as a School Facilitator at Parklands College & Christopher Robin Pre-Primary in 2024.

In 2023, I volunteered as a counsellor at St. Anne’s Home Observatory and Hope House Counselling Centre, and took part in psychoeducational group work at Isibindi Aftercare Centre and Melkbosstrand Care Centre.

I’m a board member of Bloubergstrand Social Work Services and volunteer with Revive Church Sunningdale Kid’s Church and the Bless my Bag international project. Outside this work, I’m a songwriter and singer for the international girl band MishaxMarie.
