Welcome. I'm Dr. Niel Victor, a Clinical and Research Psychologist offering psychotherapy, supervision, training, and consultation grounded in evidence-based, inclusive, and affirming practice.

My work is rooted in deep respect for the human experience, a belief in people’s capacity for growth, and a commitment to fostering spaces where stories can be safely held and meaningfully explored.

Credentials

I hold a PhD in Psychology from the University of South Africa (UNISA), where my doctoral research focused on South African psychologists’ competence in affirming sexually diverse clients. I also hold two Master’s degrees —one in Clinical Psychology (UNISA, with distinction) and one in Research Psychology (University of Pretoria). I am registered as both a Clinical and a Research Psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

My journey to Clinical Psychology

Before retraining as a psychologist, I spent two decades in the market research industry. However, a life-altering cancer diagnosis in 2010 led me to reflect deeply on how I wanted to live and work. This became a catalyst for change and ultimately brought me back to my longstanding passion for psychology and human connection.
