Family Social Workers in Pretoria

The social workers listed in Pretoria for family relationships work with the person and their situation. That can mean regular sessions, help with services, or work with the family ¹.

Where an assessment, a diagnosis or medicine is needed, ask who provides it where you are. Open the profiles below to compare experience, language, fee, and whether they work online. Ask how soon each one can see you.

If you are afraid of someone in your family, say so to the practitioner before any joint session is booked. Ask to be seen on your own first. The support numbers at the top of this page are for that situation.

Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title social worker. Social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline ². It promotes social change, cohesion and the empowerment of people.

The training emphasises the systems around a person. Housing, income, schooling, child protection and family conflict are part of it.

In mental health that often means talking work alongside practical support. Ask a practitioner what parts of your situation they would work on.

Titles you will see include Social Worker and Student Social Worker. Search the register by name at South African Council for Social Service Professions (SACSSP). Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why.

In South Africa psychologists and social workers must be registered to practise. No statute protects the plain title counsellor.
