About Me

I am a compassionate Educational Psychologist dedicated to supporting children and adolescents. I understand the unique pressures young people face, whether with learning, emotions, or school life. We work together to uncover their strengths and build practical strategies for overcoming challenges. I aim to create a space where your child feels truly understood, fostering confidence and helping them thrive. This approach is ideal for families seeking empathetic guidance to unlock their child's full potential.

Approach

Gentle curiosity shapes how I explore each child's difficulties, keeping attention on strengths and everyday routines while inviting parents into the process. In my Johannesburg practice, conducted in English, sessions are structured but flexible—short, focused activities, reflective play and clear feedback help make worries manageable and learning differences visible. Between appointments I share practical suggestions families can try at home and review progress together. This way of working often suits families seeking steady, practical support for school and emotional challenges.
