About Me

I am Danielle van Rooyen, a social worker with a master’s degree in Play-based Intervention. I am passionate, driven, and ambitious. I have a passion for helping others and for putting a smile on their faces.

I have experience in various fields of social work. I especially enjoy working with children and seeing them change and grow through therapeutic intervention.

I believe that change can only happen when a family works together with me to support the child. I see families as an entity and not as separate parts, even though these separate parts are needed to make up the family. I believe that all people are capable to grow with the necessary guidance and help.

Values

Quality – I believe in delivering a service of a very high standard
Innovation – Each client is different and therefor I like to be creative when planning sessions as well as to achieve outcomes.
Relationships – building and maintaining sustainable connections with clients and their families/parent(s)/guardians.
Teamwork – Parent(s)/guardians work together as a team with me to ensure change and to achieve the desired outcome.
Integrity – I keep my professional standard high through honesty, confidentiality, trust, respect and transparency.
