About
Rachel Zaidman-Mograbi
Masters (Clinical Social Work) | Honours (Psychology)
I believe in an individual’s potential for growth and change no matter what the situation. I am a compassionate, dynamic, well connected therapist also involved in the academic sphere of practice. I work with children, adolescents, individuals, families, groups and couples in my diverse private practice. Since qualifying as a social worker fifteen years ago, I have worked extensively in the field of parent-child reparation and attachment- related issues, while holding a post as a resident social worker at a Johannesburg based high school for girls.

My practice is situated in a quiet, residential setting in close proximity to
suburbs in the North of Johannesburg. Session duration - 60 minutes.
“IT’S A TERRIBLE THING, I THINK, IN LIFE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE READY. I HAVE THIS FEELING THAT ACTUALLY NO ONE IS EVER READY TO DO ANYTHING. THERE IS ALMOST NO SUCH THING AS READY. THERE IS ONLY NOW. ” (Hugh Laurie)
