Mrs Shira Jankelson-Groll

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

I am a Clinical Social Worker and Couples Therapist with 12 years of experience. I am warm, empathetic and respectful, and love this work.

About Me

I help couples navigate challenges, fostering understanding and connection. My warm, empathetic approach creates a respectful space where both partners feel truly heard. With 12 years’ experience, I guide you to explore communication patterns. This is a good match for couples ready to transform frustrations into shared growth. We will find new ways forward together.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, gentle pace, peeling back patterns beneath conflict, loss or anxiety so people can feel clearer about what matters to them. I work with couples, individuals and older adults in Cape Town and online, in English, creating focused moments for tracking feelings, trying small changes between meetings and reflecting on what shifts. My approach blends attentive listening with simple, practical steps that honour your pace and history. This way of working often suits partners and individuals seeking clearer communication and manageable change.
