“I believe that assisting a child during the crucial stages of their development may help them to grow into their full potential as adults. Intervention at a young age is the best possible gift. Intervention may mean parental guidance, play therapy, adolescent therapy or even an educational assessment.”
About Me
I believe in supporting children during their formative years. This early intervention helps young people unlock their full potential. My work guides families through crucial developmental stages. We might explore feelings through play therapy, or I can offer parental guidance. This tailored support provides a vital foundation, helping children build confidence for a thriving future.
Approach
Helping a child at pivotal moments means listening closely to family stories and observing how a child plays, learns and reacts, then shaping the work around that understanding. Sessions in Benoni or online, conducted in English, are relaxed and paced to each child’s rhythm and the family’s routine. I use playful tasks, targeted assessments and focused parent conversations to map strengths, name worries and build small, practical strategies that can be tried between meetings. Families seeking steady, practical collaboration tend to find this approach helpful.
