I am a registered counsellor with the HPCSA & BACP in the UK, working with teenagers and young adults through grief, loss, anxiety, relationships and life transitions.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like you're just not quite yourself anymore? Maybe you're carrying grief, anxiety, stress, heartbreak, a big life transition, or a relationship that isn't working the way you'd hoped. Maybe you've lost touch with yourself somewhere along the way and aren't sure how to find your way back. Maybe you just need someone in your corner. I aim to offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are; messy thoughts, big emotions, and all. Whether we meet in person at my practice in Cape Town, or Online, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported.

Studies show that the relationship between therapist and client is a stronger predictor of successful outcomes than the specific type of therapy used. But how can you know what kind of counsellor you'll 'click' with, or who you'll feel safe with? As a starting point, know that you've come to the right place, and that there IS support out there. If you feel overwhelmed by life’s demands and sense that you've lost touch with your inner voice, strength or agency, reach out. I am happy to offer a free 10 minute chat for you to simply feel into if you'd like to work together or not.

Celeste Paterson
Psychologist, HPCSA - Ed. Psych.
Serves Area
My speciality lies in helping adults, students and adolescents understand the deeper emotional and relational patterns that underlie their difficulties.
Therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of experiences that feel overwhelming or hard to understand. I work psychodynamically and offering a safe, containing, and non-judgmental therapeutic space. My approach is grounded in curiosity about the inner world, unconscious patterns, and relational experiences that shape how clients understand themselves and engage with others. I also integrate mindfulness and meditation where appropriate to support emotional regulation and reflective capacity.

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

Margie Pankhurst
Art Therapist, MA

Serves Area
Drama therapy is an embodied practice that is active and experiential. I have a person-centred approach: radical acceptance, unconditional positive regard with a non-directive stance. I strive to work with the healthy resilience of the individual or group, creating a sense of safety in the present so that personal challenges can be explored in a contained way. Whilst creativity is the foundation for curiosity and expression, the sessions are client led focusing on their preferred mode of expression. The work (with children and adults) is trauma informed and diversity sensitive. Restoring and encouraging agency is ever present

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.
