Elize van de Merwe<br />
Counsellor<br />
The emotional wellbeing of cancer patients is paramount to their recovery<br />
and treatment. Elize is registered as a supportive counsellor, a qualified<br />
SAQA facilitator, and has since 2012 been working directly with cancer<br />
patients and their families with a specific interest in children.<br />
She is particularly concerned with understanding the impact of cancer on a<br />
patient’s psyche and emotional health and how this varies between people<br />
and families. Elize is able to connect directly with patients and assist them<br />
with their emotional wellbeing in a personalised and compassionate way.<br />
Elize is responsible for the management of participating oncologists within<br />
the programme and acts as a key contact person allowing for clear<br />
communication between oncologists, their patients and the programme.
