About Me

Rene Morcom

Social Worker

I am a dedicated, qualified social worker who is passionate about helping my clients improve their lives. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Social Work degree, which I pursued at UNISA with a major in psychology. I am currently completing my Master's in Clinical Social Work (Psychiatric) at the University of Johannesburg, further enhancing my expertise in the field.

Throughout my professional career, I have been fortunate to attend various workshops and training programs on a diverse range of topics. As a result, I have developed a holistic approach to social work, allowing me to address each client's unique needs.

My therapeutic practice is geared towards helping individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults, as well as couples and families. My main approach is based on Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. However, based on the need, I bring in other modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centred Therapy, among others.

In addition to my clinical expertise, I am also qualified in family law mediation. This certification enables me to assist couples in navigating the difficult terrain of separation by providing them with tools to communicate effectively and constructively, to formulate a divorce settlement or parenting plan that suits their children's and families' needs. My passion for psycho-legal social work grew, and I followed to study forensic work both in allegations of sexual abuse and care and contact investigations.

At the heart of my practice is a deep commitment to empowering my clients to reach their full potential, and I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and growth.
