Interventions Tailored to Support Every Individual

ABOUT
A Personalised Approach
After completing school, I obtained a Bachelor of Music (BMus) degree from the University of Pretoria. During this time, I discovered a passion for teaching and supporting children within educational settings. This led me to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education through UNISA, after which I began my teaching career in London as a relief teacher.
Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with learners and students across a variety of ages and educational settings. My experience includes teaching in both mainstream and private primary schools, as well as lecturing young adults at a TVET college. I completed a Master's degree in Educational Psychology at the University of Johannesburg. Since then, I have worked in both school-based and private practice settings.
I enjoy working with clients across different life stages, from children aged five and older to adolescents and adults. I take a holistic approach to my work and strive to create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable and supported, whether they are attending an assessment or engaging in therapy.
I am fluent in both Afrikaans and English and welcome enquiries from individuals, families, and schools. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of growth, learning, and well-being.
SERVICES
Professional Educational Psychology Services
Supporting children, adolescents, young adults, families, and schools through evidence-based assessment, therapy and educational support.
Every individual learns differently, experiences challenges differently, and deserves support that is tailored to their unique strengths and needs. As an Educational Psychologist, I provide comprehensive psychological assessments, therapeutic interventions, learning support, and professional consultation to help individuals reach their full potential academically, emotionally, and socially.
Whether you are seeking answers through an assessment, support with learning difficulties, emotional wellbeing, school readiness, or guidance for your child or family, every service is personalised with care, professionalism, and compassion.
Educational & Psychological Assessments
Comprehensive assessments provide valuable insight into how an individual learns, thinks, processes information, and manages emotional or behavioural challenges.
