Catherine Ndong
LICENSED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
FOUNDER OF MALAGA THERAPY
FOUNDER OF HAVEN REST RETREAT
CREATOR OF THERAPIES MAGAZINE
Catherine Ndong is a licensed psychotherapist with extensive international experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional, relational, and life transitions. She is the founder of Malaga Therapy, an international psychotherapy practice supporting clients through therapy, emotional wellbeing, psychological guidance, and deeper therapeutic work.
Haven Rest Retreat was created from a simple conviction:
"Meaningful change often requires more than limited time and fragmented conversations."
While traditional therapy can be deeply valuable, some situations require something different: protected space, privacy, professional guidance, emotional safety, and enough distance from daily life to truly understand what is happening. Haven Rest Retreat was created as that space — a private therapeutic retreat experience for individuals and couples seeking clarity, reconnection, emotional renewal, and meaningful change in a calm, carefully curated environment.
Catherine’s work has always been centred on helping people navigate emotionally demanding situations with depth, structure, and compassion — whether within relationships, personal transitions, emotional overwhelm, or moments where life no longer feels aligned. She is also the creator of Therapies Magazine, an international publication exploring mental health, wellbeing, and therapeutic approaches, reflecting her broader commitment to emotional health education and thoughtful therapeutic dialogue.
A Therapeutic Approach Designed for Real Change
Catherine works with international individuals and couples navigating emotional overload, relational difficulties, major life transitions, burnout, identity questions, and moments where clarity feels out of reach.
Her therapeutic approach combines emotional depth, professional structure, and human precision to help clients understand what is truly happening beneath the surface.
Through her clinical work, she has supported clients across cultures, backgrounds, and complex personal situations — both in person and online.


Why Haven Rest Retreat Exists
Over years of therapeutic work, one reality became clear:
Some situations require more than one-hour sessions.
Greater
Privacy
Distance from daily demands.
Protected emotional space
Time to think clearly
Time to feel safely
Time to reconnect
That is why Haven Rest retreat was created.
A private therapeutic environment where deeper work becomes possible.
