Mienke van Niekerk embarked on her psychology journey at the University of Stellenbosch in 2017 and furthered her studies in the field at the University of South Africa. She has experience in working with children, teenagers, adults, couples and families. The relationship she builds with her client is her number one priority. She builds this relationship by presenting and holding a safe space for them (a bubble to express what they want, without consequences, fear or judgement, but unconditional acceptance). Together they gain a deeper understanding of the client’s challenges and how to go about them.

Reaching out is the first step into the direction of the good life that you seek. Whether you and your partner are experiencing some rough patches, if you as an individual are finding your anxiety levels have risen, or if you have unresolved trauma that you can feel creeping in and taking it's toll, I can help.

A particular area of interest for me is the effects of the hormonal and reproductive system on women’s mental health. Additionally, I have extensive experience with clients experiencing grief, depression, relationship difficulties, burnout, anxiety and trauma. I also have experience assisting clients to navigate and develop in the workplace. I prefer for my clients and me to focus on healing holistically. This means simultaneously addressing personal, relational and environmental (past/present) factors rather than focusing on a specific label.

I love working with people, and it is a privilege for me to be able to combine my passion, training, professional, and personal experience to support people in their personal growth and improve their sense of well-being. I believe all people can thrive given the right circumstances, skills, and support. I strive to provide clients with a safe space where they can feel heard and empowered in their healing process.

My passion for “helping others” began at a very young age. Since then, I have equipped myself with the knowledge and the skill set needed to journey with others. My role is to come along side you, and assist where I can, so your life journey can be lighter with each step that you take. My approach is to holistically understand the individual, each intervention is specifically designed for you, so that your therapeutic needs are consistently met.

If you are looking to make life better, to get "unstuck" and have a nurturing and warm space in which to process various difficulties, therapy may well be helpful to you. I work with adults, adolescents, couples and have a particular interest in families. My areas of focus include relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and coping skills. You might just want to talk about things confidentially without having a serious crisis.

Mutual respect is one of the qualities I regard as an important element of the therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with adults (men and woman) from any cultural background. Languages I am proficient in includes Afrikaans and English. We all experience challenges through our life’s journey and sometimes they become obstacles that are seemingly unbearable or impossible to overcome. Especially when the issue(s) are not concrete and difficult to articulate. Together we can evaluate and identify them, in order to address and find a process suitable to alleviate the hurt and suffering.

Life presents us all with challenges. You may be entering a new phase in your life. You may see repeated patterns that negatively impact you, your work and your relationships. Perhaps the uncertainty of COVID-19 has left you contemplating your identity and seeking meaning and purpose in your place in the world. You wish to make sense of the influences of belief, race, class or other systems and the accompanying feelings these evoke. However much (or little) you desire a change or a fresh perspective on life, it's natural to want someone to help you navigate the discomfort and achieve your goals.

My therapy style is non-judgemental and collaborative; creating a warm, trusting and authentic space where clients can explore new insights into themselves while being equipped with skills to bring about constructive change and alleviate distress. Whilst I am guided by evidence-based psychological interventions, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), I acknowledge that mental health is multifaceted and subsequently my approach is strengths-based and holistic. This includes acknowledging the connection between the mind and body and thus considering the role of mental, physical and social factors on overall health and wellbeing.
