About Linda

A Rare Fusion of Psychology & Business

Linda Xoliswa Khoza is a HPCSA-registered Counsellor and seasoned strategic communications professional whose career spans over two decades across South Africa's financial services, FMCG, construction, NGO, and mental health sectors.

Her academic journey was a conscious return to purpose — translating high-level corporate experience into formal psychological training. She is currently involved in managing higher learning university mental health helplines, supporting students across South Africa in accessing mental health care and crisis support.

What distinguishes Linda is her ability to operate at the intersection of people and performance — engaging sensitively with individuals in distress while maintaining the strategic clarity required in corporate settings.
