Mr Zandi Ngalo

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“I'm social worker in private practice, rendering psychosocial services to the young and old. Utilizing Primary social work methods.”

About Me

As a social worker, I provide psychosocial services to individuals and families, young and old. My approach, grounded in primary social work methods, creates a collaborative space to explore your unique situation. We consider the whole picture, helping you navigate challenges and strengthen your well-being. Clients find practical ways to connect with support and build resilience, fostering positive change for their lives.

Approach

With clients across the lifespan I structure sessions around clear goals and gentle assessment to see what’s working and what needs attention. Based in Dewetsdorp, I offer in-person and remote appointments that match school and family rhythms and make follow-up practical. Sessions often include brief, child-friendly assessment activities, trauma-informed listening, and collaborative planning that names small steps—home supports, school contacts or advocacy actions—and I check progress each time. This way of working helps people who want steady, practical support and clearer next steps.
