About Janet van Wyk

I am a registered psychotherapist who has years of experience in Child, Adolescent and Family Counselling. My academic journey began in Munich, Germany and Arizona, USA. I received my Bachelor of Psychology from Carleton University-Ottawa, Canada, Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and Master of Counselling from Monash University. Similar to a psychologist, as a clinical psychotherapist, I am experienced in working with a range of mental health issues, using evidence-based therapy to support my clients.

My prior experience working in the school and community settings bring a unique set of skills to my private practice. Having worked with clients of different age groups related to educational and social emotional concerns, I have a deep understanding of the developmental needs of children and adolescents and the challenges they face.

Parenting is part of the collaborative approach in my practice where parents are empowered to explore strategies, set goals and scripts to best support their children and be the best parents they want to be.

I have extensive experience working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, school refusal, stress management, parenting issues, child/adolescent relationship issues, behavioural issues, self-harm, body image issues, social difficulties, neurodiversity, trauma and grief.

My therapeutic approaches are Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, Parent Coaching, Psychoeducation and Strength Based Therapy. I am passionate about working with people, it is my priority that clients feel seen and heard in a totally safe, non-judgemental space and be the agent of change.
