About Your Therapist
Riaan van Wyk
MSexologiae (Cum Laude), BSc (Hons-NDP) Therapeutic Psychology (Cum Laude), BEng (Hons)
I am an Integrated Psychotherapist, Traumatologist, Sexologist and Relationship Specialist. I am fortunate enough to co-own My Therapy International with my wife, Anna-Mart van Wyk, who practices as a Holistic Therapist and a Neuro-Behavioural Coach.
It might surprise you that I started my career as an Engineer, as it was the “logical choice” in the era when I attended varsity, but my interest in human behaviour was relentless, and I ended up reading twice as many books on Psychology as on Engineering while qualifying as an Engineer. After having practiced as a Metallurgical Engineer for a couple of years, I finally made the “right choice” and pursued my true passion – the Human Sciences.
My Engineering studies contributed greatly to me being the Therapist I am today, as it caused me to be very critical of therapeutic interventions that lack the scientific credibility and proven track record to back them up. I therefore only use therapeutic models that are evidence-based and validated by science to ensure my patients get results.
I think differently from other Therapists, and I integrate many models to ensure that my patients receive the optimal level of care to truly help them. I can’t help but be outcomes-oriented and feel a huge sense of responsibility to make a real, tangible difference.
Although I use many different intervention protocols, I have a special love and intimate knowledge of these therapies as they work –
• Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (Fosha)
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Beck)
• Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (Ellis & Dryden)
• Rational Behaviour Therapy (Maultzby)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (Pederson’s expansion on Linehan)
• Internal Family Systems Therapy (Schwartz)
