James Weideman Clinical Psychologist

Skills and methods of Intervention

• Apart from being a therapist, I am also an academic and have acquired various specialized qualifications in:

-Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy.

-Psychodinamic Therapy

-Hypnotherapy and Hypno-analysis (Here I follow a Christian
approach that I rather call Inner Healing).

-I would work with the so called “Inner Child” in order to create corrective mastery
or empowering experiences for the traumatized inner child.

-Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is recognized and used world wide as a “power technique”, because of its efficiency as a therapeutic tool.

EMDR is used for the processing of most forms off emotional problems, including traumatic experiences, losses, anxieties ect.It is called a “power” technique because it often has remarkably quick and dramatic positive results. I must have used it for more than 200 times and I am still using it on a daily basis.

EMDR’S efficiency as a therapeutic tool has been confirmed by many research studies.

-Marital Therapy

-Sex Therapy

-Family Therapy

-Play Therapy and Sand-tray Therapy

-Parental Guidance

• The technique and approach of choice will depend on the specific client and his specific problem.
