“Skilled assessor: academic achievement; emotional support; accommodations.Professional therapist. Informed advisor and trainer of workshops”

About Me

As an Educational Psychologist, I help individuals understand their unique learning profiles and emotional needs. I provide skilled assessments for academic achievement and emotional support, offering clear pathways to practical accommodations. In therapy, we can explore challenges in a supportive space. I also share informed strategies as an advisor and trainer, ensuring clients gain actionable insights. My aim is to help you navigate educational and life hurdles with confidence.

Approach

Assessment anchors our work, shaping clear steps toward suitable accommodations and emotional steadiness. In Alberton and online I conduct sessions in English or Afrikaans, keeping meetings paced, practical and collaborative. I blend focused diagnostic feedback with joint goal-setting, short school or home tasks and regular review so progress becomes tangible between appointments. This way of working often suits children, adolescents and families who want structured, evidence-informed support that links assessment to everyday learning and wellbeing.
