About Me

Approach
With young people I translate assessment findings into clear, manageable steps that feel practical for home, school and everyday life. Sessions in my Sandton clinic (conducted in English) move at a steady, collaborative pace: we review observations, try short, structured tasks together, and set small between-session goals so progress is visible. I work closely with caregivers and teachers to keep strategies consistent across settings. This approach suits families seeking straightforward explanations and hands-on, sustainable support.
