there is hope
A practice of passionate psychologists in Hillcrest KwaZulu-Natal, we believe that no story is too far gone.
Your story is worth listening to. Take a bold step and reach out. Your freedom is worth fighting for.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you are right.

Welcome to the Iris Foundation
live boldly, chase freedom
Formerly Hannah Grace Counselling, The Iris Foundation is a group psychology practice grounding itself in values of health, family and resilience. “Iris” is a word laden with meaning that denotes promise, new life and growth. The ancient Greeks referred to iris as a rainbow, a symbol of promises, hope and renewal, even through the most harrowing experiences. Anatomically speaking, the iris regulates the light entering the eye, essentially the body’s vehicle to discern real from unreal, truth from lies. The iris is also a bold, bright flower with a strong root system, making it a sturdy, resilient plant.
At The Iris Foundation, we believe that nothing is too far gone, and that everything is recoverable. We are passionate about freedom and partnering with clients’ vision to live their stories untangled from the past, the present or fears of the future. We believe in the beauty of truth and the courage it takes to face the lies that keep you in bondage. We also know that this takes work, that the journey is tough, but we want to walk it alongside you.
We want to get to know your story!
