Dr Lourens van Schalkwyk
Psychologist
“Psychologist helping individuals to deal with personal life, career and study related difficulties.”
About Me
As a psychologist, I understand how personal, career, and study challenges can feel overwhelming. I offer a supportive space to explore these difficulties. Together, we can gain clarity and develop practical ways forward. We will work to understand your unique situation, building resilience and confidence. My aim is to help you navigate life's complexities and find balanced solutions.
Approach
When things become overwhelming across home, work or studies, I focus on how we’ll move from confusion to clear next steps. Sessions in English or Afrikaans from Swellendam or online are steady and collaborative: we set a simple agenda, test small, practical changes, and reflect on what worked between meetings. I blend thoughtful questioning with structured skill-practice so progress feels measurable and doable. This way of working often suits adolescents and adults seeking realistic, paced change.
