Social Worker (Mental Health)
“An experienced Social Worker working with: people who are infected and affected by HIV, adolescents, families and communities”
About Me
Bongie Khumalo, a Mental Health Social Worker, offers compassionate support to adolescents, families, and communities. She helps individuals and families navigate the unique complexities of living with or being affected by HIV. Bongie creates a collaborative, understanding space for clients to explore their experiences and build resilience. Her practical approach provides tools to strengthen relationships and foster well-being. This helps clients find clear ways forward.
Approach
With adolescents, families and community members living with HIV, I guide sessions that balance practical problem-solving and gentle emotional processing. In Vryheid and online I use English, isiZulu and other home languages so ideas land where they matter and follow-up feels doable. Sessions move at your pace — safety checks, short plans, advocacy when needed, and simple between-session practices to manage grief, stress or traumatic memories. People looking for steady, hands-on support from a social work perspective tend to find this way helpful.
