Relationship expert on importance of therapy

Relationship coach, couple counsellor, and author of Uncomplicated Love, Shelly Lewin spoke to Briefly News about the importance of therapy when dealing with marital problems like divorce. She said:

"Professional marital support can be a transformative resource for couples navigating challenges. It provides a neutral space to explore issues, learn communication tools, and reconnect emotionally.

"Even if the marriage ultimately ends, counselling/ mediation/relationship coaching can help ensure the separation is amicable and respectful, particularly when children are involved. Seeking help early often yields the best outcomes."

Kolisi began playing rugby at seven, inspired by several family members. He joined the African Bombers junior team and played for them for five years. His talent earned him a rugby scholarship to the prestigious Grey College.

When he first arrived at Grey, he spoke only Xhosa and knew no English. A classmate, Nicholas Holton, helped him learn the language, and the two remain close friends. Holton served as Kolisi's best man at his wedding.

Kolisi’s professional career began in 2011 when he debuted for Western Province in the Vodacom Cup against the Golden Lions. In 2012, he secured a starting spot with the Stormers in Super Rugby, but a thumb injury sidelined him, causing him to miss Western Province's Currie Cup victory that season.
