WELCOME

SoulWork Counselling Services was envisioned by Isabelle Souza-Breytenbach, a social worker who's passion is to see people, including herself, growing into greater freedom. Isabelle is a Brazilian made South African, she has devoted most of her life to social justice and community development. While in Brazil, she studied Law and enjoyed volunteering in the University's Law Clinic and at an NGO in the Brazilian favelas. During that time she had the opportunity to study English in South Africa. In that visit in 2008, she got to see the country and experience the culture. She worked as a volunteer at an NGO in Kayelitsha and at the Red Cross Children's Hospital. This experience changed her and her career path. That's when she decided to move to South Africa and study Social Work at UCT. Now, 17 years later, she has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge in helping individuals, families and communities. That's how SoulWork started, for her to assist you on your journey to selfgrowth, healing and freedom. Isabelle loves working with all group ages and is particularly interested in adolescent mental health, women's mental health and couple's therapy. In her personal life, Isabelle enjoys her three children, her family, friends and her faith. Also leaving some free time for surfing, walks in the nature and dancing ballet.
