Mrs Lynette le Roux

Registered Social Worker

“I am a Forensic Social worker specialising in Court matters, e.g. Divorces, Drug abuse and Mental Health, Supervised Contact etc.”

About Me

As a Registered Social Worker, I specialise in forensic social work, guiding individuals through complex court matters. I offer clear, objective support in areas like divorce, drug abuse, and mental health. I provide structured support, such as clarifying processes for supervised contact. My calm approach brings clarity to highly emotional situations, helping clients make informed decisions. Individuals facing challenging legal processes find my direct, supportive guidance invaluable.

Approach

When legal processes feel overwhelming, I focus on creating a steady, practical space where pieces are gathered and decisions are mapped clearly. Sessions in Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans, move at a measured pace: verbal accounts, focused assessments and concise reports are balanced with time to reflect and plan next steps. I often use short, structured tasks between meetings to track progress and prepare for hearings or contact arrangements. People facing legal or family stress find this grounded, orderly way of working helpful.
