Educational Psychologist
“I am an Educational Psychologist who is passionate about enhancing the holistic well-being of her clients through meeting their unique needs.”
About Me
As an Educational Psychologist, I am passionate about supporting the holistic well-being of young people and their families. I believe every individual's journey is unique. We can work together to understand your specific circumstances and develop tailored strategies. My aim is to help clients thrive by fostering their strengths. I address their particular needs with care and expertise, creating a truly personalised approach.
Approach
I focus on practical, child-centred steps that make learning and emotional development more manageable and meaningful for each family. Sessions in Johannesburg and via secure online meetings in English are relaxed and paced to the child's needs, often using play, storytelling and gentle assessment tasks to map strengths and challenges. I share clear feedback and simple strategies for home and school between meetings, collaborating closely with parents and adolescents so changes feel achievable. This way of working suits families seeking thoughtful, evidence-informed support that honours a child's rhythm.
