Mrs Malehlohonolo Madikgetla

Social Worker (Mental Health)

I provide counselling and support services to help people deal with psycho-social issues leading to emotional and psychological distress. I have a special interest in depression, anxiety, ADHD and substance use disorder.

About Me

I offer Counseling and support for emotional or psychological distress. I work with those navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, or substance use. I provide a space to explore your experiences. Together, we'll identify practical ways to manage difficult feelings and find a clearer path. My aim is to help you feel more grounded and supported.

Approach

Sessions focus on making sense of patterns and finding practical ways to feel steadier day to day, with attention to mood, attention and substance-related challenges. In Ekurhuleni and online I work in English, Sesotho, seTswana, isiXhosa and isiZulu, so we can pace work to your language and life context. I use brief assessments with young people, collaborative goal-setting with families and simple skill practice between meetings, plus straightforward advocacy when systems need a nudge. This approach often suits those wanting clear steps and steady support.
