Ms Velencia Maupye

Social Worker (Mental Health)

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families and communities to discover their strengths and cope with daily challenges

About Me

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's complexities. We can work together to uncover your inherent strengths. My goal is to develop practical strategies for daily challenges. This collaborative approach builds resilience, recognising the unique resources within you and your community. It's ideal for those seeking to transform struggles into new opportunities for growth and connection.

Approach

Together we map practical steps that fit your daily life and, when relevant, the legal context surrounding a child or family concern. In Pretoria or online, in English, Sesotho, Sesotho sa Leboa or seTswana, sessions blend structured assessment, focused listening and collaborative planning so you leave with clear next steps. Between meetings I support advocacy and coordinated communication when paperwork or court-related reports are needed, and we review progress in plain language. This approach suits people seeking clear, steady guidance through complex situations.
