Leila Bolland Private Social Worker Muizenberg: About Me

I am a registered social worker with the South African Council for Social Service Professions (SACSSP – Reg No. 10-38093) and have practised since 2015. My experience covers several areas of social work. These include child protection, homelessness, trauma counselling, substance use, and mental health support.

I began my career as an early intervention social worker in child protection. During this time, I gained strong knowledge of the Children’s Act, children’s court proceedings, and legal processes linked to temporary safe care and foster care.

After the birth of my first son, I moved into part-time work with a newly registered non-profit organisation that supported homeless individuals. Over five years, the organisation grew, and so did my role. I progressed from social worker to operations manager and programme coordinator.

Leila Bolland Private Social Worker Muizenberg: Experience

My work included individual case work, group facilitation, and trauma counselling. I also developed a deep understanding of substance use and mental health challenges.

As a mother of two boys, my interest in developmental psychology and attachment theory has grown. As a result, I have developed a strong understanding of non-punitive and responsive parenting styles. This knowledge guides my work with families and individuals.
