Welcome to Hope House…
Hope House has been offering hope and care to hurting people since 2004.
We offer counselling, addictions support and training to the people of Cape Town, South Africa.
Hope House is a Christian organisation that is passionate about welcoming people
of all races, religions and cultures to seek care and counselling with us.
Our Hope House Centres are in Bergvliet, Tableview and Kuilsrivier, Cape Town.
Counselling
Hope House offers one-on-one counselling in a confidential and respectful environment to people of all backgrounds, cultures and languages. We’re a Not for Profit organisation and ask for a donation in return for counselling sessions.
Schools Programmes
Our schools programmes reach out to youth at crucial stages in their choices around drugs. Our Community Based Treatment Program impacts Cape Town schools.
Trauma-informed Classrooms
Hope House is offering schools training and guidance on becoming a trauma-informed school. This workshop shows the impact of trauma on the learners’ brain.
Workshops and Training
We are passionate about the training and development of Cape Town’s counsellors – so we run frequent workshops to enrich a counsellor’s skills and experience.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story” – Maya Angelou
Our Mission: Inspired by the love of God, the Hope House founders set off to offer hope to hurting people through care and counselling. Our mission is to equip people to withstand the pressure they face in trauma, loss and in the practical demands of daily life.
Our approach is person-centred. This means we listen to every client’s experience with empathy and without judgement.
We believe God can make a mess into a message, a test into a testimony, a trial into a triumph and a victim into a victor.
