About Me

Marilize van der Wath

Industrial Psychologist

 

You Deserve to become all that you are destined to become

I work with clients to work on their personal development and growth, ultimately resulting in the accomplishment of their dreams and goals and ensuring they realise their full potential.

Sometimes, life’s challenges can really drag you down, resulting in losing sight of your dreams and who you are. I think many times we are so busy making other people happy,we forget who we are and what WE want out of life. This is when it is necessary to just re-evaluate and re-plan for our future.

Background

I have more than 20 years experience in different sectors within the corporate business environment. These sectors includes mining, direct selling, services and retail sectors. I completed my BCOM (Hons) degree (Cum Laude) in Industrial and Organisational Psychology at the University of South Africa (UNISA) and obtained my Master of Commerce degree in Industrial and Organisational Psychology also at the University of South Africa (UNISA), with specialisation in Consulting Psychology. My research was about implementing a performance management system at a private healthcare organisation. I am passionate about performance and finding innovative solutions to improve performance. 

I am also registered as an Industrial Psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), I am a member of The Society of industrial Psychologists South Africa (SIOPSA) and I am a member of the South African Medico Legal Association (SAMLA). 

Career assessments is another area of Industrial Psychology I am passionate about. To help especially Grade 9 – Grade 12 learners make informed career decisions is extremely important to me. The career decisions you make will directly influence the rest of your life, and through providing career guidance and counselling to individuals is my opportunity to make a positive impact on today’s youth and tomorrow’s future. 

I was fortunate to have been part of the multi-disciplinary team at a private Healthcare Hospital where I presented group sessions to patients admitted for mental health problems, e.g., depression, anxiety, general life struggles and struggling to adjust/respond to life’s demands. I always experienced the incredible feeling of accomplishment when

I saw the difference in their mental health in patients from the time they were admitted to the time they were discharged. The personal growth and change in mindset to be ready to take on the world – that for me makes what I do for a living worth it!

My vision

To positively influence optimal growth and mental well-being; to make an exceptional contribution to the personal and professional development through the application of expert knowledge and experience and the passion I have for people.
