Dr Andre van Wyk

Psychotherapist

“I have more than 25 years' experience practicing as a Marriage, family and psychotherapist. I specialize in couples and family therapy.”

About Me

With over 25 years’ experience, I specialise in guiding couples and families through their unique challenges. I create a supportive space where every voice can be heard, fostering open dialogue and deeper understanding. We work collaboratively to strengthen bonds and develop healthier communication patterns. My extensive experience helps clients find lasting change and improved connection within their relationships.

Approach

Specializing in couples and family work, I focus on how change happens in everyday interactions and the small shifts that ease tension. Based in Pretoria, I offer sessions in English and Afrikaans and provide secure online appointments for busy families and individuals. Sessions are practical and paced—we track patterns, practise new ways of speaking and managing stress, and set small between-session steps that build confidence when dealing with loss, trauma or relationship strain. This way of working suits those wanting steady, realistic progress.
