Dr Ilze Van der Merwe
Counseling Psychologist
“"You can't go back to change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending" -C.S Lewis-”
About Me
I support individuals seeking to transform past experiences into a path for positive change. We explore present challenges, helping you develop new perspectives for navigating life differently. This is for you if you feel held back. Together, we can embrace new possibilities and shape a more hopeful future.
Approach
Beginning from the idea that the past doesn't dictate the ending, my work concentrates on real-time choices and small, steady shifts you can feel between sessions. In Cape Town and online I offer sessions in Afrikaans and English where we move at a steady, humane pace — noticing patterns, building coping skills for anxiety, mood and relational strain, and creating practical safety and communication steps you can use right away. This approach suits people ready to experiment with new responses and find clearer ways forward.
