My ideal client is someone who has a need for therapy, but may find it difficult to talk about their issues. Words may seem limited to describe what they feel inside of themselves. Child clients sometimes don't know or understand the extent of their unhappiness, or are too young to know that they are mentally and emotionally affected by circumstances. My ideal client is someone who suffers from trauma and early childhood wounding, or presents an array of other clinical presentations, including depression, anxiety disorders and much more. Clients seek therapy because they have a desire to be healed and emotionally be in balance.

I have a special interest working with people who struggle with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD or phase-of-life-challenges.

My approach is informed by Narrative therapy, but I also works in more structured body-based modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, TRE (Trauma release exercise), EMI (Eye movement integration) and Resource therapy for clients who live with the effects of trauma.

As a neuropsychologist and psychotherapist, I started 'Maia Psychology' to help people understand themselves, through a blend of neuroscience and psychology.
My practice is named after the ancient Sanskrit concept "Maia", meaning 'the illusory magic of the universe appearing'. For me, Maia really refers to our fundamental ability (and inability) to perceive ourselves, others, and the world around us. This is what psychology is ultimately all about.
I named my practice after this concept to emphasise my wish to nurture a truly holistic neuropsychological practice; one that seriously considers all that makes you who you are.

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

“When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or “when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another” - Carl R. Rogers.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
