Carryn Hennessy – Lecturer/ Intern Supervisor

Hello, I am Carryn. I have a huge passion for people, and believe in our intrinsic ability to heal and transform our lives and those around us. I started off my university career planning on becoming a psychologist, but fell in love with social work along the way. I graduated cum laude from the University of Johannesburg in 2005 as a social worker. I have worked in different welfare organisations, schools, and Children’s Homes along the way. I started working in private practice on a part time basis in 2009. I have had the privilege of meeting so many different families and children along the way, and am so grateful for the opportunities to walk alongside them in their healing journeys. In 2019 I completed my Masters in Clinical Social Work cum laude. I was fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to lecture at Humanitas in 2022, and have loved being part of the organisation. I assist with lecturing the Trauma; Crisis; Self Care and Adult Survivors of Sexual Abuse modules. I am also involved in the PBI training and have lectured the Attachment modules. I am also one of the supervisors, and absolutely love walking the journey of the internship with the students.
