Registered Social Worker Offering Mental Health & Trauma Counselling in South Africa

 

Mental Health, Trauma Counselling & Psychosocial Services

Charne Bennett is a registered social worker based at Meraki in Motion offering professional mental health and psychosocial support services to individuals, couples, children, and families across South Africa.

Her work focuses on supporting emotional wellbeing, improving mental health, and helping clients navigate life challenges such as trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and behavioural concerns.

As a social worker, Charne provides more than traditional counselling. Her services include structured psychosocial support, which involves understanding a person’s emotional, social, and environmental needs to identify what is affecting their wellbeing. From there, she uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support healing, emotional regulation, and long-term change.

She also offers trauma-informed counselling, focused on creating emotional safety and helping clients process difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed. This approach is especially effective for individuals experiencing anxiety, PTSD symptoms, or emotional distress.

For families and children, Charne provides family therapy and play-based interventions that improve communication, strengthen relationships, and support healthy emotional development.

In addition, she offers secure online counselling across South Africa, making professional mental health care accessible, confidential, and convenient.
