Therapists in City of Johannesburg
I am a clinical psychologist working with adult individuals, couples and adolescents. I am primarily interested in our relationships and our sense of self in relation to others, oneself, the future and the world. We may sometimes find ourselves feeling lost and confused. I am interested in these human struggles and our attempts to find meaning in sometimes chaotic, uncertain contexts. Ultimately, we are searching for a sense of home and belonging, a place where we can just be ourselves. We may lack internal cohesion and search outside for answers. I offer a space for slowing down and for reflective action. Be there.

What has happened? Often when the initial shock wears off we will say, "I am okay now". However, we underestimate the impact of the frequent traumas and stressors in our lives. Over time these pockets of tears, fears and pain affect our relationships, leaving us in feeling more alone. I am a Clinical Psychologist with an medical and stress related background. My integrated therapeutic focus is on interpersonal relationships and the emotions that can affect them.

Life, from time to time, can become a struggle for all of us, and often we feel the desire to reach out for some understanding or companionship. However, we still live in an age where seeking support or help is often regarded as a sign of weakness. I believe the complete opposite. To seek out help and support in your darkest hours in order to better understand yourself and overcome your difficulties is a sign of true bravery and courage. By reaching out, you take the first courageous step toward healing, growth, and reclaiming your inner strength.

My name is Mariska van der Meulen and we offer quality counselling at affordable rates. I chose the name Meraki as it really speaks to me about the supportive, non judgmental environment in which healing takes place. It is a Greek word meaning "to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself in your work". We are 7 therapists at Meraki and our aim is to create a safe, compassionate and understanding space where we can explore solutions and find new empowering ways of dealing with challenges.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to understand their minds and how their past and present may impact their futures. I focus on talk-based therapy by creating a harmonious and safe relationship to explore you and your life together. I don't work in a way that is directly focused on solving specific problems, and prefer to work with individuals happy to join me in a journey of healing and growth over a longer term. I am not a therapist who will tell you what to do, or give a lot of advice, and that may be best found with someone else if that is what you need. I am a LGBTQIA+ & kink affirming therapist.

My ideal client seeks to break through limiting, habitual patterns of behaviour. These may be due to deep held fears or limiting/negative core self-beliefs. It presents as anything from Depression, Anxiety and/or addictions to many other conditions in between affecting people in today's challenging world. The goal here is being awake and free from self-sabotaging patterns that stem from deep conditioning and/or traumatic early experiences. I have overseas training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and this is my super speciality for over a decade. I help many clients to optimise their Ketamine-infusion (or similar) sessions.
