My name is Marineesa Majola and I am a registered Counselling Psychologist based in Goodwood, Cape Town. I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and families who are experiencing various life difficulties, life role transitions and adjustments. My work with children and adolescents is a collaborative working relationship that involves the parents as, I believe, this ensures open communication and trust in a safe and non-judgmental space.

My philosophy is that all of us have the necessary abilities to overcome any challenges in life with the right support. I offer an integrative approach to counselling that draws on Gestalt, existential and cognitive theories. I view counselling as a creative process of discovering the masterpiece in each client. I work within an interpersonal framework that places the relationship between the client and the therapist at the heart of the process.

My ideal client would need assistance with a psychiatric illness or a stressor that arises from an event or life situation, or need help in dealing with conflict in interpersonal relationships. Their goals would be to sort out the immediate difficulty in their lives but also to gain some insight into their personality and why they respond to various situations the way they do. Ultimately, I want my clients to walk away with a sense of accomplishment, even if they haven't resolved the initial issue that led them to seek treatment

I consult with individuals or couples over the age of 18 years. Most of the time the individuals seek insight and solutions to personal, professional or life challenges. These challenges may include anxiety or depression that is associated to internal or interpersonal conflict. Notably, individuals seek empathy and compassion with a therapist who tends to be more interactive and collaborative.

I like to describe our therapy together as a journey where we walk alongside each other. I won't offer advice but instead encourage curiosity for us to shine light on the hidden truth which we are all capable of finding within ourselves. Movement Psychotherapy - in which I have specialized - while welcoming talking intervention and the spoken language, rather shifts the focus to body movement, trusting the language of the body. - Embodiment. This therapy is creative in its nature meaning we use different modes of art in our explorations. You can expect mindfulness, movement, music, art and play in our sessions.

Experience and ability to connect to persons of all age groups, all cultures and all backgrounds. Persons with problems of life do not always want to hear there is something "wrong" with them. Most of the time they can be facilitated to solve their own problems and grow towards more independence and maturity on a personal level. I see it as my task to facilitate change.

It's the relationship that heals. That's the basis of more or less all therapy, it's certainly the starting place. There are many different reasons you might choose to work with a therapist. You might be feeling stuck, lost, frustrated with yourself, or something unexpected may have thrown you, or maybe your partner is nagging you to get help. Whatever the reason, and whether you have been to a therapist before or not, picking a therapist and going through the first few sessions can be a daunting process. I can’t guarantee that I’m the right therapist for you, but I would be honoured to journey with you.

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
