Mrs Jessica Antonels-Goddard
Registered Social Worker
“Experienced Social Worker in private practice, specialising in child protection, care and contact, supervised visitation, and therapy. I provide professional, court-focused reports and interventions, ensuring children’s best interests remain central in all matters.”
About Me
I guide individuals and families through the complexities of child protection, family law, and substance abuse. My background as a Clinical and Forensic Social Worker ensures experienced, clear pathways for sensitive issues. I help parents and young people gain understanding and stability during difficult transitions. Clients value the structured support offered, enabling them to navigate challenges with greater confidence.
Approach
When concerns touch parenting, care arrangements or court matters, I focus on practical, structured steps we take together to create clarity and safety. Based in Cape Town, I offer sessions in English and Afrikaans, with in-person and online options to suit different needs. Sessions are paced and evidence-informed, blending assessment, reflective conversation and hands-on planning; between meetings I share concise written feedback and coordinate with relevant professionals when appropriate. This way of working suits families and professionals seeking clear direction and steady progress.
