Ms Maresa van der Walt

Counseling Psychologist

If you would like to work on important matters in a private and confidential space with an experienced therapist you are welcome to contact me. I also assist via online platforms if that is your need.

About Me

I am a Counseling Psychologist in Constantia, Western Cape, South Africa. I treat addiction, life transitions, behaviour and conduct issues, relocation and expat stress, and forgiveness. I use CBT, DBT, Brain Working Recursive Therapy and individual therapy to help you build practical coping skills.

Approach

It is understandable that entering therapy can sometimes feel daunting or unfamiliar. In order to assist you with your needs/goals I will ask some questions to get a better understanding of you. You will also be able to express your needs/goals for therapy. This can sometimes be hard to identify in which case I will assist you in this journey. We can then look at an approach or skills that will help you to make progress in regard to the identified goals. You are at any time welcome to indicate if you feel we need to change the approach since you will always be the main player in your own life.

I use an eclectic approach, which means that I will choose an approach that will best suit your personality and needs. I also follow a Person Centred approach which means treating you with unconditional positive regard. I have an interest in CBT and DBT which often provides helpful tools that can assist with healthy change.
