Monja Brink

Addiction Counselor

“I am an ICADC Certified Addiction Counselor registered with The Canadian Addiction Counselor Federation (CACCF), based in Cape Town, South Africa. I provide therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families.”

About Me

If you or your family are navigating the challenges of addiction, I offer a steady, understanding space in Cape Town. I guide individuals, couples, and families to explore its impact and discover new ways forward. We can work together to build resilience and foster healthier connections. My approach ensures everyone involved finds a voice, creating a path towards lasting well-being.

Approach

From my practice in Somerset West I create a steady, practical rhythm that helps people untangle how substance use affects daily life and relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to your needs — short, focused goals one week, deeper reflection the next — and I check in between meetings with clear steps you can try at home. I use both Afrikaans and English and offer in-person or online options so families and individuals can stay connected to the process. This way of working suits those ready for steady, realistic change.
