It is helpful is to write down some affirmations about yourself. Stick them to a mirror or a wall in your bathroom or a place you will see them regularly. Add to them as often as you can and read them out loud. Give yourself a short few minutes each time to listen to them and deeply feel them.

💙🌍💙World Autism Day 2025💙🌍

Radix James Remedial School celebrates the incredible diversity of minds within our community. This year’s theme - Advancing Neurodiversity and the UN Sustainable Development Goals - highlights the intersection between neurodiversity and global sustainability efforts, and all the while continously creating importance for spreading awareness and understanding about autism and neurodiversity. It is our collective duty to educate society and work towards eradicating stigma surrounding neurodivergent individuals.

Neurodiversity recognizes that variations in brain function and behavior are a natural part of human diversity. As a neuroinclusive school, we strive to create an environment where every student, regardless of their neurological differences, feels valued and supported. By embracing neurodiversity, we not only empower our students but also enrich our entire community.

In this ever-evolving landscape of knowledge about autism and neurodiversity, it is crucial for us all to stay informed with modern information. Understanding the unique strengths and challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals allows us to foster a more inclusive society.

Let’s come together today to raise awareness, share knowledge, and promote acceptance. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who are neurodivergent!

Welcome to the practice of Calvin Pienaar, Clinical Psychologist.

Located in Sandton, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and personalised therapy to help you navigate life’s challenges. With over 14 years of experience as a Registered Counsellor, I offer a depth of knowledge and expertise to support individuals facing a range of mental health concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and more.

Post my masters training, I completed my internship in Clinical Psychology at Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital, followed by community service at Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital, where I had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients. This experience has enriched my approach, ensuring that I provide evidence-based, effective treatment tailored to your unique needs.

I use an eclectic approach to therapy, integrating techniques from various therapeutic models to best suit your individual needs. Additionally, I have a special interest in depth psychology, which allows us to explore the unconscious aspects of your psyche, uncovering deeper insights and facilitating profound personal transformation.

In my practice, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, gain insights, and develop the tools you need for personal growth and lasting emotional well-being. Together, we can work towards achieving emotional balance, clarity, and fulfillment.

I invite you to schedule a consultation today.
