Dr Diederi Kruger
Registered Educational Psychologist (HPCSA)
Practices: Worcester and Strand, Western Cape
I am a psychologist with more than 25 years of professional experience in psychological assessment and therapy. I provide educational, psychological, and neuropsychological services to children, adolescents, and adults, supporting emotional well-being, cognitive development, and academic functioning.
I am based in Worcester, Western Cape, and offer services in Strand from January 2026. I previously practiced in Springs, Gauteng, and bring extensive experience from both private practice and educational settings.
My professional background includes teaching and remedial education, supported by postgraduate qualifications from the University of Pretoria (M.Ed. and PhD). The title of my doctoral dissertation was “A research into cross-cultural, narrative therapy to adolescents who have been sexually abused.” In addition to private practice, I have over two decades of experience providing psychological services in clinical and hospital settings, including working with patients during inpatient admissions and as part of multidisciplinary medical teams.
I combine Narrative Therapy, Logotherapy, and my training in Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT®) in my work, offering an empathetic, evidence-based, and holistic approach to growth and healing. Alongside in-person consultations, I also offer online therapy where clinically appropriate to ensure accessibility and continuity of care. Therapy is collaborative and tailored, aiming to promote insight, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. Services are provided in English and Afrikaans.
