As a psychotherapist, Juanitte has extensive experience providing psychotherapeutic counselling and therapy to individuals and groups of diverse ages and socio-cultural backgrounds. When required, she also consults closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive psychological care for her clients.
When working with clients, she adopts an integrative approach based on the principle that interpersonal relationships have a significant impact on a person’s psychological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics. For this reason, she developed Strong-for-Life integrative therapeutic interventions with a vision, passion and dedication to provide exceptional restorative interventions for her clients in a supportive, empathic and safe environment.
Her psychotherapy (also known as psycho-educational therapy), focuses on identifying internal and external factors that may affect the client’s thinking, perceptions, mood, and/or behavior, ultimately limiting their ability to cope with life. With this approach, she enables her clients to achieve meaning and purpose in their lives while also facilitating their ongoing self-development.
As part of her services she offers Employer-Employee Assistance Programs (EEAPs), including Power Talks and Workshops on psychology related topics that have proven highly valuable for corporate organizations, events and conferences alike.
“I firmly believe that everyone is capable of transforming adversity into victory whatever the circumstances.” – Juanitte Pieterse
