Ms Tselane Makhetha

Registered Social Worker

I have a passion for maintaining and rebuilding family relations creating a none judgemental environment, assisting individuals improve and learn methods to assist them in their day to day lives. The Strength Perspective best describes how client's will be assisted looking at the systems as a whole.

About Me

I am passionate about helping families and individuals navigate challenges. I foster stronger connections in a non-judgemental space, guiding you to improve daily life. We'll explore your inherent strengths, understanding how all parts of your life connect. This approach helps you learn practical methods, building resilience and finding effective ways forward. Clients seeking support for family dynamics and personal growth will find a collaborative environment here.

Approach

Beginning with respectful curiosity, I help families and individuals notice small patterns and try out concrete steps between sessions so change feels manageable. In my Johannesburg South consulting room and online, I offer conversations in English, Sesotho, seTswana or isiZulu at a steady, practical pace that honours your timing and responsibilities. Sessions blend focused listening, gentle feedback and targeted tasks that grow coping skills and repair connections across daily life. This way of working suits parents, adolescents and anyone facing transitions who want usable tools and clearer relationships.
