Couples Counselling Therapists in Cape Town

My clients tend to have various life challenges. These can range from stress, anxiety, depression and suicidality to loss/grief, life transitions, coping with chronic diagnosis, couples counselling, career counselling and more. The need tends to be to address the challenges, promote self-discovery and mental health, find a collaborative support structure and to find ways of developing tools that will assist them beyond the counselling space. In the end counselling is about trying to find a way to reshape your life/approach/perspective to something that better fits who you are as a person and to gain a sense of personal well-being.

On a personal note, I am a married 44-year-old mother to a 10-year-old son. Why do I tell you this? Because I believe it is important for you to know that I have not only academic but also broad life experience. I have worked through much emotional and physical trauma in my life thus far, so I am able to understand the depths of feelings my clients present. I counsel both individuals and couples.

Cedar Psychology was established to cater to different mental health needs within a safe, non-judgmental and containing environment. We all have our ups and downs, where support from family and friends can be enough to help us manage our stress. Sometimes we may feel that we need more. Some may enter therapy because they have felt sad, worried, confused, angry, or numb for a long time, or would like help processing their past. Others may enter therapy because of sudden life changes such as the loss of a loved one, work/school stressors or relationship difficulties. Whatever your reason may be, support is available.

As humans, we are social beings. We, therefore, need to form relationships with one another, in order to feel "whole". When an individual reaches out for help with their mental health, they start a cycle of healing. Mentally healthy individuals create healthy families, which spills over into healthy communities, and ultimately, a healthy society. So although I have a passion for working with couples and families - building, restoring and maintaining functional relationships, starts with each individual.

The quality of our relationships has a significant impact on our happiness and physical health. If we feel disconnected and misunderstood or are struggling to cope emotionally with our lives, we can quickly feel despairing and alone. Some problems just seem to escalate or repeat themselves without being resolved. My great passion is bringing healing to people’s relationships with others and within themselves. I help my clients to find greater emotional freedom, inner security and resilience, as well as helping them to build and maintain healthy relationships so that they feel more peaceful and meaningfully connected with others.

We are emotional beings who often need support, understanding someone to witness different aspects of our lives. As a therapist, I am able to offer a safe and containing space to help you journey through difficult aspects of your life.

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the HPCSA and EAPA-SA. I have 16 years of diverse clinical experience working with individuals, couples, groups and organisations in both private and public sectors and with student wellness services at the tertiary level. I have consulted for the University of Cape Town for 9 years and in 2017, I co-founded Impilo Consulting, which is a specialist organisational development and support consultancy.

I focus on couples and individuals experiencing relational and emotional distress. My couple work is a structured approach to build hope, trust and connection whilst guiding the couple into more productive ways of communicating and connecting which allow their needs to be met more effectively. I use primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy and borrowing also from the work of Hedy Shleifer and Imago attachment principles. This is deep work aimed at moving the couple away from pain and negativity, as they are guided on an empowering journey of healing and self discovery.

Build to Strength was birthed in a very sensitive time in Cape Town, South Africa; where its citizens didn’t only face a physical health challenge, but in its enormity it was apparent to Janine Liedeman, the head counsellor and founder that her academic foundation had to marry her passion to help many battling with emotional wellbeing. It was then that her practice was opened, in 2020 to help individuals, couples, and families alike to manage the ever-demanding changes and effects of a balanced life by journeying with people and companies equipping them with tools to function in what otherwise be overwhelming stress and dysfunction
