Educational Psychologist

“A passionate therapist workng towards making life better for you!”

About Me

As an Educational Psychologist, I help individuals understand their unique learning styles and navigate educational challenges. I support young people and adults facing learning difficulties, neurodiversity, or school-related anxieties. Together, we explore practical strategies to build confidence and realise potential. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel truly heard. We work collaboratively to find clear, actionable steps for a more positive educational experience.

Approach

Passion guides my approach, turning concerns about learning, behaviour or anxiety into clear, manageable steps you can try. In Pretoria I meet people in English or Afrikaans, keeping sessions paced and practical so we focus on what helps day-to-day and at school or home. Together we use assessment insights and conversational problem-solving to build routines, rehearse skills and track progress between meetings. People who want hands-on strategies and a down-to-earth partner in change usually find this way of working helpful.
