Zikhona

Ms Zikhona Nondima, BSW

Registered Social Worker

“I am an experienced professional social worker providing face-to-face and virtual counselling and therapy services to individuals, children, families, couples, friends, groups and organizations.”

About Me

I offer comprehensive Counseling and therapy, guiding individuals, families, and groups through life’s complexities. I create a supportive space for all ages, from children to adults. Sessions are available face-to-face or virtually for couples and friends too. My broad experience helps you navigate challenges, fostering clearer communication and stronger connections. I also assist organisations in building healthier dynamics, ensuring tailored support for diverse needs.

Approach

When problems feel tangled, I help you break them into manageable steps while staying attuned to your pace and priorities. In Durban or online, and in English, isiXhosa or isiZulu, sessions are conversational and practical — we explore patterns, process painful memories, rehearse new ways of relating and build concrete coping tools. I often set brief between-session reflections or tasks to track change and reinforce skills. This steady, collaborative pace suits people facing trauma, relationship strain, addiction, or chronic stress.
