Dr Jan Wissing

Clinical Psychologist

“I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 25 years’ experience in different treatment modality’s. I believe that anyone who wants to change can do so”

About Me

Drawing on 25 years as a Clinical Psychologist, I offer a collaborative space to explore life's challenges. I truly believe that if you want to change, you can. We'll work together, tailoring our approach to your unique needs. This might involve exploring different ways of understanding your experiences, or finding practical steps forward. My aim is to help you move towards your goals. I am a good match for those ready to embrace personal transformation.

Approach

If you're ready to move forward, I use a straightforward, collaborative style that balances practical steps with careful listening to what matters most to you. In my Rustenburg office I work in Afrikaans and English, keeping sessions focused and paced so we can spot patterns, try new responses and use brief between-session tasks to track change. I blend thoughtful assessment with clear, goal-oriented discussion so progress feels tangible. This way of working suits people who want practical, steady movement toward their goals.
