About Me

As an experienced social worker, I offer a warm, confidential space. Individuals and families can find support here during challenging times. We work collaboratively to explore your concerns, strengthening connections and developing practical ways forward. My aim is to help you navigate difficulties with clarity, ensuring you feel truly heard. This approach is ideal for anyone seeking guidance to build resilience and create positive, lasting change.

Approach

My practice focuses on steady, practical collaboration that helps people and families make sense of difficult moments. In Pretoria I see clients in English and Afrikaans in a calm office, with appointment times arranged around school, work or caregiving demands. Sessions move at a measured pace: we name immediate concerns, set small achievable steps, and use brief check-ins to adjust strategies for dementia, stroke recovery, chronic illness or trauma-related needs. Many clients leave with clearer options, practical tools and renewed confidence to manage next steps.
