Louis Van Niekerk is a well respected and qualified psychologist in Auckland with proven results over many years of service.
My mission is to make you feel the best possible self. Each person is treated uniquely to his/her circumstances.
To provide our patients with the best advise and treatment. I treat each patient with personal care, empathy and respect, while keeping all treatments confidential
Over my 42 years (24 years in NZ) of service in the area of psychology, I have provided great success to all my clients. It is extremely personal and important to me that anyone that comes to see me, goes away a much healthier, happier person.
I am a female, over sixty years of age, have been running a successful business for several years and deal with many different staff. Over the last years, I lost interest in life, my memory became terrible, I often got lost on my way home. I stopped wearing makeup. My GP sent me to Louis for a cognitive evaluation. I was glad to find out that the tests Louis did showed no demetia but I was clinically depressed. Louis suggested an antidepressant to my GP, and we also started CBT and Mindfulness therapy and Louis got me physically active again. I am a different person now and enjoy living again. I am almost off the antidepressant and feel I do not need medication any more. I will forever be thankful for the support and changes Louis guided me through
Whilst considering myself to be emotionally strong and well balanced, life throws balls that are at times too difficult to catch. I have stumbled and nearly fallen over. But I considered myself to be very lucky to have been introduced to Mr Louis Van Niekerk, my psychologist. In just one visit, I went from being in a state either turmoil, worry or panic to clarity of thought and with some sort of ability to give direction to my thinking. Over time, I was able to regain the ability to separate out those damaging thoughts and reactions and focus on the things that I could do about my situation in a positive way. Louis was so reassuring, practical and full of what seemed like ordinary common sense, that I was able to place my complete trust in him. I remain very grateful to him
I am a self employed accountant with a large client base. I got burn-out, anxious and depressed and was unable to work for some time. I tried several antidepressants and sleeping tablets with little benefit. Louis, however, turned my sad mental state around with practical, supportive and effective techniques and therapeutic interventions that made a world of difference. I am grateful to be back to my old self after a very difficult emotional journey
