Mrs Sarah-Jane Shelley
Registered Social Worker
“Experience in mental health, addictions, supervised visits with minors, assessments for placement of elderly and various court reports. Individual and family work.”
About Me
As a Registered Social Worker, I offer experienced support for mental health and addiction challenges. I understand the complexities involved when seeking significant change. My passion lies in helping you find a clear path forward. I conduct detailed assessments, guiding you towards suitable alternative accommodation or rehabilitation options. Clients appreciate this practical step, which helps them move towards stability and a new beginning.
Approach
Having supported families through visits and placement decisions, I focus on a practical, stepwise way of working that clarifies options and reduces overwhelm. I see clients from Cape Town and online, in English or Afrikaans, and sessions are paced to balance careful assessment with problem-solving — we map risks, agree small goals, and I make targeted referrals or reports when needed. Between meetings I offer brief check-ins and clear next steps so progress feels manageable. This approach suits those facing transitions, caregiving strains or recovery-related challenges.
