Mrs Christi Pieterse

Licensed Psychologist

“An experienced psychologist that works predominantly with stress, burnout, and relationship counseling.”

About Me

This experienced psychologist guides individuals and couples through the complexities of stress, burnout, and relationship challenges. They help clients explore underlying patterns and develop practical strategies for lasting well-being. Sessions offer a supportive space to understand difficult emotions and cultivate healthier ways of relating. This approach suits those seeking to regain balance and strengthen their connections.

Approach

Sessions focus on uncovering the patterns that keep you stuck and then co-creating clear, manageable steps to restore energy and connection. I offer in-person meetings in Rustenburg and secure online appointments, conversationally in English or Afrikaans, with a pace set by your needs. Therapy blends mindful attention, reflective conversation and practical stress-management practices, with brief between-session exercises or check-ins to try new approaches in everyday life. This approach tends to help individuals and couples looking for steady, achievable change.
