Getting to Know Dr Tienie Maritz, the Trusted Psychologist from Pretoria

The success of therapy relies heavily on trust. You are opening up to a professional – albeit also often a stranger – trusting them to guide you to face your challenges. So, it’s only logical that you should choose someone who is both highly qualified and able to connect with you on a personal level. Dr Tienie Maritz, a practising psychologist in Pretoria with a Phd in Educational Psychology from the University of Pretoria, might very well be the ideal option for you.

Before we get to know more about Dr Tienie Maritz from Pretoria, let’s first answer the following questions – what is a psychologist, and what do they do?

A psychologist is a mental health professional that has studied the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects of behaviour, and delivers mental health care related to the fields they have focused their practice on or specialised in.

For Dr Tienie Maritz, the fields he specialises in and in relation to which he provides mental health care, includes:

  • Marriage counselling
  • Couples therapy
  • Individual psychotherapy
  • Parental guidance
  • Family therapy
  • Youth therapy (children, teens, adolescents, students)
  • Career design

A personal approach

Dr Tienie Maritz works from the viewpoint that nobody walks your walk of life for you – you do it in your own special way. This also means that your journey of change, growth, discovery, transformation and taking brave challenges is unique to you.

Ultimately, he aims to help guide each and every client to become empowered to live life better and to feel significant in what they do and with whom they do it.

In his own words: “My approach is purpose driven – to enhance the well-being of people. Within the psychotherapeutic context, I work with the client towards a better understanding of the self within this world. I consider myself privileged to share in people’s lives and become part of their journey.”
