How can someone feeling unheard within their relationships, family or the workplace navigate these challenges effectively...

Cedar Psychology was established to cater to different mental health needs within a safe, non-judgmental and containing environment. We all have our ups and downs, where support from family and friends can be enough to help us manage our stress. Sometimes we may feel that we need more. Some may enter therapy because they have felt sad, worried, confused, angry, or numb for a long time, or would like help processing their past. Others may enter therapy because of sudden life changes such as the loss of a loved one, work/school stressors or relationship difficulties. Whatever your reason may be, support is available.

I believe that with the needed support services patients/ clients can regain or maintain their resilience. In doing so they are able to make a valuable contribution in life in whatever way they want to. I am providing clinical services that will allow my patients/ clients to live to their full potential.

I focus on couples and individuals experiencing relational and emotional distress. My couple work is a structured approach to build hope, trust and connection whilst guiding the couple into more productive ways of communicating and connecting which allow their needs to be met more effectively. I use primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy and borrowing also from the work of Hedy Shleifer and Imago attachment principles. This is deep work aimed at moving the couple away from pain and negativity, as they are guided on an empowering journey of healing and self discovery.

Fairytales make you believe that love is easy. Typically there is a hero, a damsel, one fight, and then they live happily ever after.

So I specialize in helping parents in marital crises turn their marriage around because I know you want your children not just to see you survive together, but what deep, beautiful love can look like.

Hi, I’m Louisa, better known as Lulu. I’m a counsellor & coach for all women wanting change, growth & help. Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, traumatized, disempowered, or just plain stuck? Do you feel reluctant to divulge this to friends or colleagues? You are not alone.

Providing a Holistic Counselling Approach that Improves Client’s Overall Wellbeing and Health. The road to happiness and wellness can be challenging for individuals who may have experienced traumatic events, self-esteem issues, health problems, or other negative life experiences. In many instances, when a client seeks the help, they are struggling with the lasting effects and consequences of a deeply seated issue. Sometimes the root issues can be hard for the client to identify on their own because they will often show up as physical pain, spiritual challenges, or other behavioral issues that seem unrelated to the root cause.

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.

Waking up not fully rested, because you hardly sleep. You cannot greet the morning with smile, because nothing excites you. You experience pain at the end of work, because you feel overwhelmed. You're overthinking with suicidal thoughts because you lost hope and nothing motivates you. You surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges and allow trauma to control you. You cannot be present for yourself and your family. You need a confidential helping relationship, where you could talk about your problems. Seeking help can feel lonely and scary. You want to feel safe enough to share your thoughts and hurts and not be judged.
