About Me

As an Educational Psychologist, I help children, young people, and their families. I offer a supportive space to explore learning and developmental challenges. This includes academic struggles or emotional well-being impacting school. Through collaborative discussions and tailored strategies, we understand unique strengths. My aim is to empower individuals to thrive. Every child deserves to feel understood and supported on their educational journey.

Approach

Opvoedkundige Sielkundige in privaat praktyk in George shapes sessions that are practical, child-paced and goal-focused, with gentle room for curiosity. In my consult room I work in Afrikaans or English, welcoming parents and adolescents to bring school notes, observations and questions so we can make sense of everyday struggles together. Sessions blend playful tasks, short clear explanations, straightforward feedback and simple home steps so changes are visible between visits. Families wanting calm, practical support to build confidence and manage behaviour often find this way of working helpful.
