Services Offered
Werner Guse’s approach is both integrative and results-focused, drawing from a range of psychotherapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Coherence Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and neuroscience-based methods such as BWRT. This blend allows him to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each client, ensuring rapid and effective change.
Psychotherapy
Werner offers therapy for individuals dealing with a wide range of psychological challenges. His focus is on addressing the root causes of issues and helping clients lead healthy, meaningful lives. He works primarily with adult individuals and provides his services in both English and Afrikaans.
His therapy services include:
- Grief and Trauma: Helping clients cope with the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and emotional adjustment following trauma.

Additional Information
Werner’s psychotherapy approach stands out due to its emphasis on results-focused interventions that tend to have a shorter duration than traditional therapies. His use of advanced therapeutic methods like BWRT aims to mobilise brain processes that reduce psychological distress, illness, and self-defeating behaviours.
His professional practice not only aims to help individuals heal from emotional wounds, but also works to optimise their functioning and achieve their personal and professional goals. Werner’s approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to facilitating transformation in his clients’ lives.
