Holly Van Rooyen

Clinical Psychologist

“I work therapeutically with individuals from different backgrounds. I help to assist individuals who are experiencing various difficulties.”

About Me

I work as a Clinical Psychologist, offering a warm, confidential space for individuals from all walks of life. When you're facing various difficulties or feeling stuck, I'm here to help you explore your experiences. Our sessions aim to make sense of challenges and find practical ways forward. I believe in a collaborative approach, tailoring our work to your unique needs and supporting you at your own pace.

Approach

I focus on what feels most urgent and how earlier relationships and everyday patterns shape current responses, then move forward at a pace you can manage. Sessions are held in English at my Pretoria East practice, face‑to‑face, and use gentle questions alongside short, practical check‑ins to clarify where change will help most. Work often blends reflective exploration with small, achievable experiments between appointments so insight becomes action; parents and young people are supported with age‑sensitive techniques. This approach suits those seeking steady, collaborative help with anxiety, mood or parenting challenges.
