Change Matters Therapeutic Counselling Services

Change Matters is delighted to present our latest product, into which a lot of love and care has gone. Miranda has developed a 12 week individual online course collating her extensive practical knowledge about addiction and Recovery, in conjunction with Jana. Sobriety and the Next Step will help you get to grips with Steps 1-3 in the 12 Step Programme, in which you come to understand how surrender works, and claim its rewards.

Themes include discovering what causes us to self-sabotage, be addicted, and become anxious and depressed - and how we can find balance. You will learn distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, self-compassion, and present moment awareness.

This weekly hour-long online session (with notes) is claimable on med aid and is recommended for anyone recovering from any kind of process or substance addiction. Its tools and techniques teach you how to manage daily life.

Doing this work will reveal who you truly are at core, underneath your wounding - namely, a magnificent and beloved child of the Universe. We are here to support you.

Thank you Samantha Mackenzie for this beautiful creation, currently sending rainbows across my keyboard. Samantha will be running workshops on how to make these artworks yourself, and how to tie them meaningfully into your personal journey. Love it. Thank you Miranda for the gift. Best wishes to you all from Jana.

As many of you know, we (Dr Jana Lazarus and Miranda Wannenburgh) share rooms and a practice in which we offer therapy for children, families, couples and individuals at an affordable rate. There being two of us, we're able to provide a unique kind of support.

Here is a recent testimonial from a client:

"Raising kids today is a challenge and having the right people to guide you is critical. Especially when you have your old habits and default dramas that trip you up daily. Having gone through a very challenging and emotional event as a family, we feel so grateful that Jana and Miranda were there and are still there for us as therapists. Jana assisted our kiddos to work through the stress and anxiety of the situation and Miranda has been exceptional in teaching us as parents how to handle the new "normal" in our world. I will never say that it has been easy, but we are stronger as a family unit and our marriage is also benefiting from the guidance. I think it is so easy today to spend money on clothes, pedicures and holidays, but your marriage and family also need input from the experts and that is what 'Change Matters' is all about. We will continue to work with Miranda and Jana and I think it is the best investment in our future as a family."

Happy to share a testimonial with you from a recent client whose 3-year-old did a short course of play therapy with Jana:

"Not in a million years would I or my son have known what life changing pathways were to come from the play therapy journey for the both of us. It brought me to the conclusion that maybe we should not even wait for something to be 'wrong' before we give our children this gift, even if it's just to make sure they are OK."

Our friend and colleague who works as a paediatric neuropsychologist in Constantia tells you a bit more about the dynamics of play therapy. She's your go-to lady for neuropsych concerns and is also a talented Clinical Psychologist offering therapy for adults and adolescents.

Play therapy is a particular form of therapy that uses play to engage children and adolescents to explore their psychological worlds. It is a powerful therapy to uncover the hidden motives, patterns and conflicts that may impact on behaviour, mood and coping. It is the job of the therapist to interp...

Hello everyone! Times are tight and in a challenging financial climate it may seem like therapy is a luxury. Still, it's hard to make a positive change in your life if you are being hampered by unresolved issues or residual pain. We teach tools to help you get maximum joy out of life, because you're worth it.

Part of offering an effective service for us, is keeping fees reasonable. In addition, Jana (Dr Lazarus) is contracted into medical aid and has offered to claim on your behalf if you need that.

Give us a call 082 630 2371 or mail us at changemattersinfo@gmail.com to inquire about our affordable therapy rates for both children and adults (including couples).

And have a peek at the new windows in our therapy room! May your year be filled with light.
