Mrs Elize Cronje
Social Worker (Mental Health)
“An experienced competent and compassionate Play Therapist, working predominantly with children and their parents.”
About Me
Elize Cronje is an experienced Play Therapist, helping children explore feelings through creative play. She guides young clients who struggle to put big emotions into words. Elize works closely with parents, ensuring families gain practical ways to support their child's emotional growth. Sessions offer a safe space for children and guardians to connect and understand each other better. This compassionate approach helps families find a way forward.
Approach
I set a gentle pace, letting play and simple activities guide how feelings surface and are shaped into words and actions. In my Cape Town office I work in English and Afrikaans, balancing focused playtime with short parent check-ins so families leave sessions with clearer steps to try at home. When worries show as anger, withdrawal or changes after loss or adoption, I invite story, movement and problem-solving games to try new ways of relating. This approach tends to suit parents and children seeking practical, steady support.
