About Us

Life is a continuous journey of changes. Changes in our health, relationships, financial situation, mood and the list go on. Often these changes are beyond our control. But we can learn to be resilient - bounce back, and cope. - Louis van Niekerk

    Experience

    I am in private practice for more than 40yrs and have regular supervision by a psychiatrist and a psychologist colleague. Most of my referrals are by word of mouth, via General Practitioners and Psychiatrists and two EAP providers in New Zealand and one Internationally. I also do Trauma work for the New Zealand Police. I get a lot of referrals via Insurance Companies for clients on claim for emotional reasons. I have done numerous Psychological Intercountry Adoption Reports for couples in the process applying for Intercounty Adoption.

    I also see clients in hospital, prison, or at their residences as needed.
