Welcome
Our humanity is not limited only by cultural contexts or psychological dynamics. Our identity is rooted in something far greater than our circumstances — it’s rooted in God himself. Therefore, no culture or psychological theories can fully define us. Just as God formed the clay and breathed in us the breath of life in Genesis 2:7, so He shapes our whole being—body, soul, and spirit. It reminds us that our full humanity is centered in God and that we were created for Him in our entire being. We don’t have to function in just one dimension; we must bring all three dimensions of our humanity to Him, so that our lives can find fulfillment and meaning in His fullness. Our lives are given meaning and purpose within the context of God’s plan, and this gives us the freedom to truly live, knowing that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. In our therapy and counseling, we focus on well-being.
WELL-BEING
Well-being can be defined as a focus on optimal functioning and behaviour that improves quality of life and builds personal potential. It is a conscious and ongoing process of holistic self-development based on personally determined wellness goals in the pursuit of improving individual, relational and community health and wellness.
HOLOSTIC THERAPY OR COUNSELLING
The holistic therapy approach views a person as a whole—body, soul, and spirit—rather than treating just one dimension in isolation. It focuses on physical, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions of well-being to promote deep healing and balance. By integrating different therapies, and spiritual practices, it helps individuals align their inner and outer worlds. This approach often includes nature and faith, encouraging self-awareness, emotional growth, and spiritual fulfillment. The goal is to guide people toward leading a healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life.
This holistic approach helps individuals’ function in balance in all areas of life, leading to true well-being with Christ as the foundation of their growth and restoration (John 10:10: “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full”).
Career qualifications
My career consists of two specific fields: Theology and Psychology. Both these fields support my career to provide the best possible psychological and spiritual guidance. I focus on individuals, couples, and families.
I am:
Registered with HPCSA (Health Professional Council of South Africa)
Affiliated with ACRP as professional body of CPSC (Council of Pastoral and Spiritual Counsellors) with Certificate No CPSC A04141/2024.
THEOLOGY
Firstly, I studied Theology and obtained my degree at the University of Pretoria. Graduation was between 1975 and 1981.
1) Bachelor of Arts Degree obtained in 1977
2) Bachelor of Arts Degree obtained in 1980
3) Diploma in Theology obtained in 1981
APPLYING THEOLOGY STUDIES IN PRACTICE
After my studies I worked for 17 years as a Pastor. Here I have applied my qualifications in different fields. Family relationships, marriage counselling and various forms of individual growth and development. In short, life sometimes can be unexpectedly challenging, resulting in depression and anxiety. There is always hope, and joy coupled with peace that can be obtained. Many times, someone just need a helping hand. For instance, to walk through a difficult chapter in life.

PSYCHOLOGY
Secondly, I studied my master’s degree at the University of Johannesburg. I have graduated in 1999.
4) Honours degree in Psychology. Obtained with Cum Laude in 1997
5) Master’s degree in Psychology. Obtained with Cum Laude in 1999
APPLYING PSYCHOLOGY STUDIES IN PRACTICE
Subsequently I opened my private psychology practice in 2000. Since then, I’ve helped families, individual, couples to overcome various difficult situations. For example to learn new skills. How to improve their lives and face challenges experienced at work. I have a special love for children and their well being. I always see minor children as my clients. The question I work with is “what is in the best interest of the minor”? Especially in couples going through divorce. Many families are in a situation of having stepmothers, dads and children. Certainly this can be challenging, but many practical things can be done to teach these families to win.
