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.
