The business is a Psychology Practice with three main foci and prides itself in its respect for diversity in language, culture, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. The departments of the business are as follow:
- COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGY PRACTICE
In this part of the business the focus is on:
Counselling and therapy for adults, couples, parents, adolescents, and children. Professor Pretorius has a holistic and integrative therapeutic approach and believes that the physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioural systems are influenced by the relationships we find ourselves in and we, in turn, influence our relationships. The aim of therapy is always to facilitate constructive change and to find meaning in everyday life challenges. I believe that all people have the capacity to turn tragedy into triumph.
