F. Ruric Vogel, PhD

Registered as a Counseling Psychologist since 1995, I offer both short term and long term counseling/therapy in Pretoria (Willow Acres/Silverlakes, Lynnwood, Menlyn, Moreletapark areas) working with adolescents, adults and couples. I believe that each individual has the inherent ability and resourcefulness to find solutions for the challenges that life may present. I follow an integrative approach with a focus on developing psychological flexibility.


I am fluent in English, Afrikaans, and German.


I have a PhD in Psychology and I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the Board of Healthcare Providers (BPS). I believe in establishing a therapeutic relationship that will allow us to work collaboratively, identifying a specific goal, developing psychological flexibility that will ultimately help you to resolve the difficulties you may be experiencing, taking you closer to the life that you want.

Salomé Human-Vogel, PhD

I have been registered as an Educational Psychologist since 1995. I work from a systemic perspective and I have a specific professional interest in helping families to adjust to various life stressors and transitions. I believe that families can do better if they focus on their relationships with one another and improve how they relate to each other, rather than blaming or fixing each other.


I am fluent in English and Afrikaans.


I have a PhD in Educational Psychology, and I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the Board of Healthcare Providers (BPS). My experience includes working with families facing a range of life stressors, and going through life transitions.

I am completing an LLB in 2025, and I have also completed a 40 hour certificate in family mediation. As an independent and objective mediator, I am well-prepared to assist families to negotiate the trauma of divorce, and to help parents craft parenting plans that will preserve family relationships and optimise the wellbeing of the children.
