Sex has four roles in life:

From a relational and philosophical perspective Sex Therapy:
MSexologiae, BSc (HonsL) Therapeutic Psychology, BEng (Hons)
I am an Integrated Psychotherapist, Traumatologist, Sexologist, Relationship Specialist and Hypnotherapist. I am fortunate enough to co-own My Therapy International with my wife, Anna-Mart van Wyk, who practices as 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 to 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 orientated and feel a huge sense of responsibility to make a real, tangible difference.
As we know, life is tough on relationships. Many years ago, I noticed that many of the couples I saw in the practice, only came for help once it was almost too late for the relationship to recover. In many sessions with such a couple, one or both of the partners would say something like: “This is our last chance to see if we could make this relationship work.” This is how the term “Last Chance Couples” came about.
I recognised that these couples needed something major, almost magical to help them, if they were to succeed at rescuing their relationship. Unfortunately, the traditional Counselling Models were simply not good enough to help them. After years of research and working with countless couples over time, I developed a unique therapeutic intervention for Last Chance Couples called – Rational Intimacy Based Therapy (RIBT). I am grateful to say that we have managed to improve the success rate that counselling models offer from 53% to just over 80% with our approach.
In all that we do, we only use reliable therapies and for that reason, our results are predictable.
We believe that patients should be in therapy for as short as possible and as long as is absolutely necessary and we do not want to make people dependant on therapy, but rather equip them with skills to thrive.
My wife and I are passionate about offering people a holistic solution to mental and emotional health. The goal of therapy is to bring about healing and then, in the Positive Psychology space, where coaching sits, Anna-Mart takes people the rest of the way from healing to excelling.
Life is magical and the magic starts with hope. We believe that we are essentially Hope Merchants by trade; and we just happen to use Therapy to give people exactly that – HOPE.
