Mr Hendrik Lourens Hendre Loots

Registered Social Worker

“Hendre Loots has been working as a social worker and a mediator. He has a special interest in conflict resolution and mediation, particularly in family disputes and child protection. He is accredited as a mediator by the Global Network Group (ADR Register) and the Family Mediators Association of the Cape (FAMAC).”

About Me

I help families navigate complex disputes, guiding them towards clear, workable solutions. My focus is family conflicts and child protection matters. I create a balanced space where all voices can be heard and understood. As a registered social worker and accredited mediator, I offer a steady, impartial presence. We can find constructive ways forward, easing tensions and protecting important relationships.

Approach

Bridging social work and mediation, I guide conversations with clear structure and calm pragmatism so everyone knows what to expect. Sessions — offered online in English or Afrikaans — move between joint and individual time, with careful listening, focused questioning and practical steps to protect children and stabilise relationships. I use brief observations and agreed tasks between meetings to test ideas and keep momentum. This way of working suits parents and couples seeking fair, realistic paths forward without unnecessary escalation.
