Ms Annelie Zaayman

Registered Social Worker

“An experienced competent social worker/counsellor working with people, groups and organizations to achieve desired outcomes.”

About Me

As an experienced Registered Social Worker, I work alongside individuals, groups, and organisations. My aim is to help you clarify what you hope to achieve. Then, I support you in taking practical steps forward. We'll collaborate to find solutions that feel right for your unique situation. Clients find my approach grounded, offering clear pathways to make meaningful progress towards their desired outcomes.

Approach

I guide our work toward practical, achievable goals, shaping each session to the pace you choose and the priorities you bring. Whether meeting in Johannesburg or online, in English or Afrikaans, sessions combine focused listening, gentle challenge and concrete planning. We often use brief tasks between meetings—reflective prompts, small experiments or memory and dream work for grief, trauma or dementia—to try new coping strategies and track change. People managing loss, chronic illness, trauma or difficult behaviour tend to find this steady, hands-on rhythm helpful.
