Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be a daunting process. The following questions might be milling around in your mind: Which therapist is right for me? Will this person heal me? How long will it take to heal my past? Can I be completely honest? Can I trust this person? My role is to provide a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space in which you can explore whether this is the right space for you and if you feel comfortable talking about the pressing issues that you would like to deal with.

If you are feeling unable to cope, or are struggling to break out of old habits or self-defeating patterns, you don't have to navigate the journey to well-being alone. Together, we can find and integrate the tools you need to reconnect with a valued life, and to build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. I am well equipped to help individuals with a variety of conditions including mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, and the autism spectrum; however, you do not need a diagnosis to need support. We all get stuck in unhelpful ways of thinking and doing; it's part of being human.

I know that if you’re browsing my page you may be facing a difficulty in your life that feels overwhelming at present. I want to affirm your courage in reaching out. Contrary to what many may tell you, it takes strength to acknowledge that you are struggling to cope on our own and may need professional help. As a therapist, I provide a confidential, non-judgemental, and validating space for honest reflection, where together we bravely face the truth of your life, and initiate the precious task of befriending and championing yourself.

How is your internal environment? Are you stressed out by the incessant demands life is placing on you? Are you living on autopilot in order to cope, never feeling like you are truly alive? Is your mind full of anxious, negative, self-defeating thoughts & self-talk? Are you tossed about by waves of emotion, reacting to life, leaving you feeling regretful & distressed? How are your energy levels? And your body? Is it well or can you feel the impact of prolonged stress? How are your relationships? How would it be to feel different? To feel energetic & alive. To have choices. To enjoy peace in your relationships with yourself & others?

The therapy room seems to be one of the only remaining places where two people can sit together uninterrupted for 50 minutes. My practice offers an unconditional, non-judgemental containing space to women seeking the clarity to live with increased insight, personal power, and purpose. By supporting your personal growth and healing, I’ll help you steadily move towards a state of centeredness and equilibrium. I combine practical, solution-focused techniques with insight-oriented psychodynamic theory and a dash of eastern wisdom to help you find healthier perceptions of yourself.

As a Clinical Psychologist Liane has had a psychotherapy practice in Cape Town for over 20 years working with individuals, families, couples and children. Liane’s orientation is psychodynamic psychotherapy where the therapist and client work together increasing awareness of the client’s actions, thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Understanding the important impact that the unconscious has on every aspect on human functioning is a foundation to psychotherapy and growth. Increasing an awareness of the unconscious facilitates healthy living and relationships.

Counselling provides a safe space to explore the problems that trouble all of us on this journey through life. We address behaviours, emotions and thoughts that are no longer serving us or which prevent us to optimally perform in different areas of our lives. This unfolding and unraveling may ultimately lead to improved relationships, new coping mechanisms, increased sense of self awareness, and personal development. My approach is warm and collaborative and I value the therapeutic relationship as a tool for meaningful change.

One of the main wellsprings of therapy is love. People arrive with spilling pockets and framed seams from various forms of love gone wrong, each with their own story: of love that has nowhere to go; a love lost or denied, twisted or betrayed, perverted and shackled to violence. These broken attachments are what I work with. Having studied the science, history, philosophy and art of therapy for 10 years, I know that when people get enough exposure to kindness, sanity, and care, we can empty those pockets and knit seams together.

Everyone has ups and downs in their journey of life, but sometimes you need additional support to navigate particular low points. Your thinking may be cyclical, so addressing the problem from multiple angles, with various lenses, can be the breakthrough that is needed. I work with a Humanistic and Positive Psychology framework that sees you as whole and focuses on your strengths. You are not your trauma, your grief, or your diagnosis. I want to help you to improve your quality of life and to fulfill your potential. I also use Resilience coaching to look at your mental, physical and emotional needs, to identify growth areas.
Alex Carter
PhD
I have a psychotherapy practice that offers clients specialized psychotherapeutic care. My practice is for adults who need help with problems like mood disorders, substance use disorders and even aspects of their own personality they may find difficult to change. I like to collaborate with clients, to think together with them about what they may need to reflect on that will bring them value and meaning in their day-to-day life. In addition to this I think it is important to examine patterns of excessive or unhelpful behaviour that compromise their feeling of self-coherence, agency and place in the world.

My practice focuses on adult individual therapy. I believe that human beings have an inherent need to connect with others. When these connections and ways in which we relate to others are challenged or compromised it can often lead to psychological pain. Psychological and emotional difficulties in turn may translate into mental health issues. Hence, the core of my therapeutic approach is to develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients where corrective experiences or new ways of relating can occur.

Therapy, counselling, coaching the list is endless. My goal is to find the right fit for you as client. Whether it’s a short term solution or a more in-depth exploration of negative behaviors, emotions or patterns there is a fit. I believe each individual has the ability to resolve personal problems on a certain level. The level depends on the individual, their resources, time, financial, social and environmental constraints. Working together we find what’s right for you!
