Family Therapy & Parenting Support

Family Therapy & Parenting Support

Build stronger, more connected relationships through therapy designed for families and parents — available in Sandton, Waverley, and online across South Africa.

Helping Families Heal, Grow & Thrive
Families are systems — when one member struggles, everyone feels the impact.
Boitumelo Mamiane, an HPCSA-registered Clinical Psychologist, helps families rebuild trust, improve communication, and create balance at home.

As one of the few Black/African male psychologists in Johannesburg, Boitumelo brings a culturally grounded, multilingual approach (Afrikaans, English, Sesotho sa Leboa, Xitsonga, Setswana, isiXhosa, isiZulu) that bridges generational, cultural, and emotional gaps within families.

Who This Helps 

  • Families experiencing communication breakdowns or frequent conflict

  • Parents struggling with discipline, boundaries, or co-parenting

  • Families facing divorce, loss, or major life transitions

  • Blended families navigating adjustment and relationships

  • Parents of children with ADHD, learning, or behavioural challenges

  • Households affected by stress, trauma, or emotional withdrawal

How Therapy Works (Approach)

Boitumelo’s approach to family therapy is collaborative, structured, and compassionate.
It draws from:

  • Family Systems Therapy – understanding roles, patterns, and connections between family members.

  • Parent Coaching & Psychoeducation – helping caregivers manage behaviour, communication, and emotional needs.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – building empathy and safe emotional expression.

  • Cognitive-Behavioural Tools – addressing unhealthy patterns and strengthening problem-solving.

Sessions may include all family members together, smaller subgroups, or individual check-ins as needed.

What to expect

  • Initial family consultation – understanding family structure, communication, and goals.

  • Collaborative plan – identifying strengths and challenges.

  • Practical parenting strategies – for discipline, emotional regulation, and positive reinforcement.

  • Ongoing guidance – building empathy, structure, and stronger family bonds.

Outcomes You Can Expect

  • Healthier communication and conflict resolution

  • Stronger emotional connection between family members

  • Improved parenting confidence and teamwork

  • Better behaviour management in children and teens

  • More peaceful, supportive home environment
