I am a clinical psychologist and my work is largely focused on individuals, blending long-term psycho-dynamic understanding with short-term practical application. I also work with groups, couples and families, helping to address challenges across those systems. The duration of therapy may be brief, between 1 and 3 sessions or may continue over time, depending on the presented needs. Therapy serves many needs, from managing crises, dealing with past experiences and working towards greater self-understanding and growth.

On the surface, it seems like things are okay. Objectively you have the things that society says is suppose to make you happy - yet you are not happy. You are overwhelmed with anxiety and dissatisfaction. No matter what you do, or force yourself to do, you just don't find it in anything. The last time you felt true joy was as a child on the playground. It seems as if though everyone around you is doing extremely well, so what is wrong with you for not feeling the same. This feeling is more common than you think. You are not as alone as you might think.

I believe that every child can learn and should have every opportunity to learn. These opportunities should not just be what our education system offers. Children learn in different ways and I see it as part of my expertise to find ways to help our children learn and develop. I love working with children of all ages. I feel that teens and young adults are often misunderstood and I want to be there for them. We need to find the hope and light within each person and sometimes, we even need to show them what they have within themselves.

I help people who are stuck, in their heads or in undigested emotions, or in difficult life circumstances, relationships and families. I teach that the only person you can change is yourself, but when you do, the ripple effect is massive. Be the change you want to see, never mind what trauma has led to your anxiety, depression etc. We're all addicts: we all have devoted habits or coping mechanisms. After a while these harm us. Find another way. I use a Transpersonal approach because it's v effective. This means I remind you you are connected to something greater than yourself, however you define that - and how to employ that daily.

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

I am mostly a systems theorist. I believe if we can heal the system that impact you (past, present, family, health, spirituality, trauma, relationships) you will be able to move at your own healthy pace toward strength and victory. I work attachment-based as I believe our family or origin is the classroom where we were taught how to do life and relationships.

As a Dance Movement Psychotherapist, my modality is rooted in embodiment. While words are always welcome, we often shift toward the body as a primary language — trusting movement, sensation, and felt experience as meaningful forms of expression. In moving, we access layers of experience that may not yet be available through words alone.

Intervention Counsellors
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behaviour and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behaviour has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
