I find it difficult to put into words the enlightening experiences myself and my daughter has had with Liesl. It is clear that this is Liesl’s passion and that she puts her heart and soul into helping others. She creates a safe space which allows children and adults to feel comfortable. Thank you Liesl.

First of all, I don’t know where I would be without Liesel. She has helped me so much with trauma/anxiety and depression. She has gotten me to a point where I could start living a normal life, and with that she has provided me with tools that makes life manageable.
My sessions with Liesel never feel like a consultation meeting, in actual fact the session are conversations with someone that is so invested in understanding the situation you are in and in the friendliest way she will try to bring you back to reality/help you solve the problem. She is also well read and always prepared to tackle any situation with you. She is very approachable and reachable at any time. Thank you Liesl.

Liesl is a true professional who understands the deepest emotions of a child. She is both passionate and invested in her approach, yet humble and considerate in her demeanor. She has helped our daughter regain her spirit, joy and confidence after several traumas in her life. I strongly recommended Liesl as the go to therapist and counselor for anyone seeking counseling after a trauma, adult or child.
Thank you Liesl.

I have been through some difficult challenges in the past and was referred to Liesel who has been absolutely amazing and encouraging me in every way possible and I feel so safe and secure in this environment. Liesel has given me back so much more than I ever thought possible and shown me that I have more confidence than I knew possible. I highly recommend this practice for adults as well as children. Thanks to Fundamental play therapy for everything you have done for me..,…..a blessing in disguise.

Liesl has given me great insight into my child’s mind and heart. She has helped me to understand how and why my child expresses herself as she does and how to respond to her needs. Liesl is a gifted play therapist. She has provided me with valuable approaches that have had a significant impact on my child’s daily routine, her happiness and her sense of security. I highly recommend Liesl for parents who need a patient and understanding ear and for children who need a safe place to express themselves.

I have been working with Liesl for almost a year now, and have never felt so confident and happy. I came to her completely broken, and she helped me heal and grow. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done!

My son was diagnosed as Highly Sensitive. Since he went for sessions at Fundamental Play Therapy he became a diffrent child. His brightness and wonderfull personallity started to shine through. Liesl is amasing with children and she understands and studies every child’s uniqueness. I would definitely recommend her!

As a parent, my experience with Liesl has been truly exceptional. From the very first session, it was clear that she is highly skilled and knowledgeable in the field of play therapy. Her ability to build rapport with my child was impressive and she tailored her approach to meet his unique needs and preferences.
Liesl created a safe and nurturing environment for my child to express himself, which was a relief for me as a parent. Using a variety of techniques to engage my child, her approach to play therapy is both creative and effective.
I am grateful to work with Liesl and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled professional in the field of play therapy.

Liesl het ons ongelooflik baie gehelp. Sy het vir ons ‘n wêreld oopgemaak waarin ons, ons kind beter kan verstaan en hy homself ook kan verstaan en in hierdie wêreld posisioneer. Sy is engel wat op net die regte tyd oor ons pad gekom het. Dankie Liesl vir al die liefde wat jy insit.

Liesl helped us incredibly. She opened up a world for us in which we, our child, can understand better and he can also understand himself and position himself in this world. She is an angel who came our way at just the right time. Thank you Liesl for all the love you put in.

Ons is ongelooflik dankbaar vir die uitsonderlike sorg en ondersteuning wat Liesl verskaf het tydens ons kind se spelterapie sessies. Haar kundigheid, geduld en toewyding tot ons kind se welstand was opmerklik. Haar professionaliteit, empatie en insig in ons kind se unieke behoeftes het werklik ‘n verskil gemaak. Ons is baie dankbaar vir daarvoor.
