About Me

This mental health social worker supports young people navigating the complexities of substance abuse. With extensive experience, they understand the unique challenges this age group faces. Sessions offer a safe space to explore underlying issues, helping develop practical strategies for healthier choices. Young people and their families seeking a compassionate, experienced professional will find a dedicated ally here.

Approach

With training in social work and years supporting adolescents through substance challenges, I focus on practical, step-by-step change. In my Makhado office I offer sessions in English or Tshivenda, meeting face-to-face at a steady, respectful pace. I map triggers, practise coping skills, and involve families when helpful, mixing counselling with concrete homework you can try between meetings. This hands-on, collaborative approach suits adolescents and caregivers seeking realistic support and clearer daily routines.
