Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Vereeniging

My goal is to provide a safe and judgement free space for my clients to be authentic and share their stories. Whether it is trauma, abuse, emotional regulation, anxiety or simply relationship advice, I will be there to support you. If you are unsure whether I can help, please feel free to message or email me and if I myself cannot help, I have a network of other professionals I can refer you to. I personally have seen how paralyzing it can be to struggle with mental health, and I want my clients to be able to thrive instead of surviving day to day.

I hold at my core a few principles which I bring to a therapeutic space. This first is without judgment – Each person experiences events in their lives in their own way, and I do not believe in imposing my own beliefs on others. I believe the therapist and patient are fellow travelers on a journey together where both parties contribute to the therapeutic process. I conduct myself in an honest and transparent manner to ensure that I remain professional and ethical in all that I undertake to do. I believe each patient’s individuality requires a tailor-made intervention that speaks to that person’s need - not a one size fits all view.

As a clinical psychologist, I'm passionate about building genuine connections with my clients. I believe in creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgment. My approach is all about empathy and understanding, because I know that feeling truly heard is the first step towards growth. Trust is the foundation of our relationship, and I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate life's ups and downs, celebrating your successes and helping you through the tough times.

Mental health,self awareness and personal development are my interests. Looking for aid with these you have come to the right place, both in person and virtual consults available

I am a Counselling Psychologist registered as an independent psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF). My practice is based at Waterkloof Ridge, Pretoria, and Rivonia Johannesburg. With my experience, I bring a vast knowledge on holistic Well-being. In my current work and previous work, I had the opportunity of working at the University of Pretoria, TUT, Mamelodi Itsoseng Clinic, Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Star Academy Affiliate Card Clinic, South Africa Police Service (SAPS)Jacaranda Children’s Home, Stabilis Rehab Centre, and Pretoria Girls High School.

I provide therapy and psychosocial services to children, adolescents and adults with emotional, behavioural and mental health challenges to improve their biopsychosocial functioning.

I aim to create a safe and non-judgemental space that focuses on an individual's strengths in order to help them grow and promote their own wellbeing. I want to make counselling accessible and affordable to all. I am a passionate and caring counsellor who uses a person-centred, systems approach to counselling and a non-invasive strength-based approach to neurodiversity coaching. My counselling style uses various combinations of evidence-based approaches in order to provide effective and individualised support. I offer individual and couple counselling as well as neurodiversity coaching.

Do you lack energy, the ability to express yourself or do you need to speak to someone in to improve your life? I would love to assist you. I believe that people have the ability to heal and move forward regardless of their past or where they find themselves currently. Therapy looks at the past and coaching looks to the future. I have helped people who struggled with anxiety, depression, making decisions (career and relationship), goal setting, addiction, relationships, sleeping, weight loss, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, hijackings, armed robberies, broken marriages, problems at work or with children and many more.

As an Educational Psychologist it is important to provide a safe and secure environment to my clients - Children, teens, parents, couples or adults, who are struggling to cope with emotional barriers, trauma, life events, school work and many more things. It is my passion to determine the causes of difficulties and to focus on the best possible solution.

Effective therapy offers us real healing and transformation. It happens through expanded awareness, as we learn how to awaken to our unconscious purposes and the internal blocks that hold us back. We let go of the instinctual coping mechanisms that have formed our identity and begin to access our authentic, Divine Self. We become empowered with a sense of freedom and confidence - able to see new possibilities. My holistic approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with EFT/Matrix Reimprinting energy healing to achieve the healing, growth and transformation you want in your life. See my website for client testimonials.

Theo works with a broad range of both in- and outpatients, particularly those whom are struggling with emotionally difficult situations, life transitions, and crisis (including trauma or coping too). That being said, if you are someone who thinks they can benefit from someone who helps you become a better you, you're at the right place. Theo is particularly fond of working with adolescents and students going through difficult times, but enjoys working with improving the healthy functioning of all clients.
