Mrs Saadia Jackson Cassiem

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“A Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the Addiction and Mental Health field.”

About Me

I offer a grounded space for individuals navigating challenges in addiction and mental health. Drawing on over 15 years of experience, I guide clients towards understanding their struggles. We’ll work together to build resilience, finding practical ways forward tailored to your unique journey. Our sessions focus on developing clear, actionable strategies you can apply immediately.

Approach

My clinical experience shapes how I structure sessions—steady, focused, and practical. I work with people in Cape Town and online, in English or Afrikaans, keeping a predictable pace that helps you name what matters and try new responses safely. We map recurring patterns, explore trauma’s effects on relationships, set small between-session experiments and clarify next steps, with advocacy support when navigating systems. This way of working suits adolescents, adults, couples and families seeking practical, hands-on tools to regain a sense of control.
