Relationship Issues Therapists in Wapadrand

I am a Counselling Psychologist with a passion for human relationships and supporting people. I am devoted to promoting the mental health of others and empowering them to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. It is deeply fulfilling for me to witness people thrive and grow personally. I feel privileged to experience and to have the opportunity to provide a safe, holding space for people to share in their joys and achievements but also collaborate with them to explore aspects of themselves and resolve their challenges.

In the more than 30 years of working with people from all walks of life, I know that we all have a need to live a life of meaning and purpose. Our day to day journey is seldom without challenges – emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Each of these challenges have a lesser, or more severe impact on the quality of our life - on the way we feel about ourselves, regarding our relationship with others and our spiritual growth. Although we do not always want to admit it, we all are wounded in some way. I do believe that the best gift you can give yourself in life, is to strive and work towards becoming the person you are meant to

We all go through our life journeys using different paths which could lead us to an unplanned detour or destination. In such cases we may need someone to hold our hand or guide us to retrace our steps or re-plan our journeys. We could work together to achieve this. I am passionate and enthusiastic about working with young people, adults, couples, and their families. My practice is person-centred and focuses on clients’ personal needs, wants, desires and goals and makes them central to their care. This means allowing clients to define and to prioritise their goals.

The beauty of therapy is that it can be helpful to everyone. Therapy is designed to assist people with a wide variety of issues from grief, job stress and relationship hurdles to personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. There is no set type of person that needs to be in therapy. You will be given a safe and protected environment to explore your most vulnerable emotions, memories, actions and thoughts. Sometimes you may laugh or you may cry, but you can expect therapy to be a space dedicated to you. It allows the freedom for self-exploration and healing without judgement or restriction.

I am a registered Sexologist in Practice in both South Africa and Europe. I am passionate about helping people and guiding them to become better versions of themselves. My one focus is Women’s overall wellness; in ALL aspects of her life and in turn, a positive effect on her relationships. Her sexuality, self-esteem, emotions, intuitions, sensations, experiences.......; all uniquely intertwined, that makes her distinctively “Her!” You have a life story; not only comprising of your past but also connecting your dreams and expectations for the future and then the current reality of your present.

Relational trauma, depression, anxiety, and internal conflict leave you feeling confused, fatigued and questioning yourself and others. Feeling numb, stuck and disconnected? Emotional and physical issues affecting a person's quality of life can reinforce unwanted beliefs that control that person's life. Self-worth beliefs influence relationships and even lead to being in dysfunctional and toxic relationships or one person left feeling very vulnerable and exposed to even more pain. Emotional and physical symptoms can range from weight gain, ill health, feeling not enough, anxiety, disconnection, depression, GUILT, SHAME and BLAME.

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 am a trained SYMBIS Couples Facilitator.The Covid-19 pandemic has placed an immense strain on relationships and research is showing that the divorce rate is increasing. SYMBIS is an assessment tool from America which provides couples (pre-engaged, engaged, married, entering 2nd marriages and blended families) with a 16-18 page report about their unique relationship dynamics (ie. individual red flags,how they view love,marriage mindset, expectations,personality styles,money matters,sex,and much more). Your relationship is as unique as your fingerprint!

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist and I am passionate about my work. I am inspired by diversity and the strength of the human psyche. Every day brings new people into my life that enriches me as a person and therapist. The relationship I have with my patient is of great importance to me. My aim is to help the individuals find a sense of self amongst the disarray of their symptoms. The self so easily gets misrepresented by symptoms and the true person does not have a voice. I want help you to find your voice! Let me join you in your process.

I am an HPCSA registered clinical psychologist based in Pretoria, South Africa. I work with adults and adolescents (12 years and older) and conduct individual, couples and family psychotherapy. I have a special interest in the following areas: Depression, anxiety, bereavement & loss, trauma, burnout, relationship distress/difficulties, addiction, and personality disorders.

I believe that my role is to facilitate healing, growth and increased self awareness in my clients. This comes from my understanding that as people we face different life challenges and are often in conflict with the everchanging circumstances of our lives. We all use different coping skills to adapt to life and at times our coping skills are not sufficient and we are left feeling overwhelmed, helpless and hopeless. Mine is to journey with you through your process in identifying obstacles, removing of symptoms and lessening the pain while positioning yourself well within important social systems for self fulfilment.

I am a qualified modern therapist, academic and social researcher who believes in holistic counselling and healing. I am able to combine African spirituality with Western therapeutic approaches to ensure that my clients benefit from a combination of the two. I thrive in individual counselling, couple's counselling, divorce counselling, trauma counselling and family counselling, life coaching as well as corporate training, executive coaching, conflict resolution and mediation, change management and facilitation. I firmly believe that therapy should empower one to make decisions, develop new behavioural patterns and value systems.

I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Faerie Glen, Pretoria, offering both brief and long-term psychodynamically-informed individual therapy to adults and older adolescents (16+).

I am a therapist who work with individuals. I see children, adolescents and adults. Each patient is a person with a unique biography which include both their joys and struggles. I focus on the person and through our relationship I do my best to help them to understand their thoughts and feelings and to get to know why they feel and behave the way they do. On our journey together we explore whatever they bring, be it a thought, a feeling, a relationship, a dream, a stuckness or a symptom. Therapy, like other relationships, can be difficult. The difference is that this relationship’s purpose is to bring healing and acceptance

I enjoy assisting people to realize their full potential. This may mean they are currently struggling with issues or trauma and need to be guided through the healing process. Alternatively, they are not currently living up to their potential and we will work together to assist them in unlocking their true capabilities.
