About Mandy Stokes

I am a registered social worker and addictions counsellor who works with adults, adolescents and the loved ones of those who are struggling to deal with addiction, self-destructive behaviours and the related issues that come with this. I received both my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work cum laude from the University of South Africa. I am involved in educating social workers and registered counsellors on a part-time basis. My goal is to help you stop acting out self-destructively and to find peace and balance. I use an integrative approach drawing on a diverse skill set and my experience. I meet you where you are at in order to determine your needs and find the best way forward. There is no “one size fits all” approach to counselling or recovery. Based on your needs I will draw on my skills and experience to assist you on your recovery journey. I have personally managed to find my way out of the dark and found meaning through helping others to heal, grow, change and transform their lives. I am blessed to have both a calling and a career as a way of life.
