Desiré Daniels, BSW

Registered Social Worker

Welcome to my counseling page! With 16 years of Psychosocial Therapy experience, including 3 years in NGO child advocacy,11 years in the South African Military and private practice, I offer tailored support. As a Psychosocial Therapist, I understand diverse needs. Let's journey toward healing together!

About Me

I offer a compassionate space where your unique story is truly heard. Drawing on my extensive background, from child advocacy to military life, I understand the varied challenges people face. I tailor our work together, helping you explore experiences and find practical, individualised strategies. This approach is ideal for anyone seeking personalised support to navigate life's complexities towards healing.

Approach

You’ll notice sessions that move between grounding and practical action, helping you name what matters and test small changes between meetings. In Cape Town or online, in Afrikaans or English, I keep a steady, respectful pace—focused check-ins, reflective conversation and clear tools you can practise at home or school. We work on safety, emotion regulation, relationship patterns and rebuilding after hurt, using straightforward exercises and gentle exploration of your story. This approach tends to suit adolescents, parents and adults seeking honest, practical healing.
