I completed my Honors Degree in Social work during 1992 at the Hugenote College that was accredited to UNISA. After completion of my studies I worked in different areas of social work, but focused mainly on child and family care.
After working at different child and family welfare organizations, I registered as a private social worker during 2010. The main reason for registering as a private social worker was the realization that there was a need for certain services to render a more effective service that was and is still not rendered by most welfare organization's.
With the following service I try to accomplish to help families to resolve their problems.
