Jaco van der Bijl

Clinical Psychologist

With most things in life, one size does not fit all and this is true for individuals seeking help for their mental well-being.  Everyone is unique in the challenges they face or goals they want to achieve. 

Together we will find some answers to help you on your journey. We will explore a variety of tried and tested techniques including client centred, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic theory to find the right fit for you.  

Most importantly, you will be provided with a safe and secure environment to express yourself and your needs and you will have someone to help and support you in whatever challenges you face or goals you strive to achieve.

I believe strongly that people, through language and reflection, can step outside themselves and change their worlds.   As a Clinical Psychologist   I can help you discover and use your strengths to learn new ways of being in the world that will improve your life. 
Jaco van der Bijl, Clinical Psyschologist

Committed to making the world a better place

I believe in people and in community. I believe that our struggles and our aspirations can best be understood in relationship to others. I believe that your mental health and mine, have to do with each other. Whilst recognising the importance of looking after myself, I believe that in the world today, we need to think more about all of us. 

That’s why I believe that the best places for us to learn and to keep moving (stay active) psychologically, are in groups. In groups we can think and feel together. In groups we emphasise that we are parts of systems where who I am and who you are have an impact on how things work out for everyone.

  • we can help to develop your leaders, to ensure they get the best out of their teams
