Mr Barend PG Maritz

Psychologist

“A registered Industrial Psychologist, specialising in Medico-Legal Assessments, Psychological Fitness, and Organisational Development.”

About Me

I provide clear, expert psychological assessments for individuals navigating medico-legal or psychological fitness needs. I also guide organisations in developing their people and fostering a thriving workplace. My approach offers detailed reports and practical insights, translating complex psychology into clear understanding. This helps clients make informed decisions, navigating important transitions with greater confidence.

Approach

Assessments become a structured, collaborative process that balances careful measurement with practical, easy-to-use feedback. Sessions are held in Pretoria, in Afrikaans or English, primarily face-to-face, and typically combine clinical interviews, standardised measures and document review to build a clear picture. I pace meetings to allow reflection, share interim observations, involve relevant family or organisational contacts when helpful, and provide concise reports with actionable recommendations you can use immediately. This way of working suits people making important legal, fitness or workplace decisions who want clarity and direction.
