About Inneke

Hi 👋🏼 Greetings!

Inneke is a seasoned mental well-being specialist with a creative spirit and avid enthusiasm for continuously exploring novel ways of improving mental health and well-being across all age ranges and diagnostic spectrums. Inneke obtained a master’s degree in clinical psychology and a communication and psychology-related PhD degree with more than 18 years’ extensive experience in face-to-face and online work in the public health and private settings. She has managed the Psychology department at a hospital for the past 13 years and here she has had the privilege of people allowing her the opportunity to collaboratively participate in their restorative and personal growth endeavors. Inneke’s work has a three-fold focus. The one leg is focused on client-centered assessments, diagnostics and therapeutic interventions with clients which extends to the second leg of staff support in the helping and other professions and thirdly, allows for clinical supervision of peers and training of young psychology professionals. Her left-of-centre approach embraces the uniqueness of each client’s personal therapeutic journey by leaning on the multiplicity of therapeutic modalities in which she continues to train. She believes in streamlining individual processes to ensure that positive outcomes continue to evolve as change and growth are powerful, but for its efficacy to endure, it must be sustainable. Her interest in creative expressive therapies was sparked when working at a sub-acute psychiatric unit as a student psychologist in 2003 where she found alternative ways of connecting with people across all ages and cultures that had difficulty with traditional verbal expression of thoughts and feelings. Ever since she has continued to search in the most fascinating places in- and outside the human mind for different ways of holding the footlight for those who have trusted her to share their voyage, whatever their destination may be.
