“shift. create. thrive.”

Hi there, I’m Maritha

I wear many hats—psychologist, artist, lecturer, coach, mother, and lifelong learner. Each one shapes how I see the world and how I support others in exploring theirs.

With more than 25 years of experience in corporate, education, and private practice, I’ve worked with people navigating change, challenge, and personal growth. Having built a life across continents, I understand what it’s like to start over, to feel uprooted, and to look for meaning in unfamiliar places. Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective to see things differently—and find a new way forward.

That’s where creativity comes in. Not just as something expressive, but as a mindset—a way to reimagine challenges, shift patterns, and uncover possibilities where none seemed to exist. Like an artist stepping back to look at the canvas, we pause together and begin to view your story with fresh perspective and with compassion.

My approach is reflective, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based psychological practice. I offer a calm, supportive environment for deep listening, honest questioning, and playful, creative discovery. Whether you're seeking direction, moving through transition, or longing to reconnect with your purpose, I’ll meet you there.

Sessions are available in English and Afrikaans.

Let’s begin where you are, and see where it leads.

It often begins with what if?

What if there’s more to discover - in your ideas, your voice, this sense of restlessness, or the weight of uncertainty? Whatever you are facing, these moments hold power.
