About Me
I help children and their families navigate challenges like trauma, ADHD, and anxiety. My compassionate, tailored approach fosters pathways to exceptional lives, creating a safe space for self-discovery. We work together to explore unique strengths and build resilience. Families appreciate how I adapt sessions to their specific needs. This ensures every child feels heard and understood, helping families flourish.
Approach
We focus on small, manageable steps that build confidence and calm. In Gordons Bay I see children, adolescents and parents in English or Afrikaans, and I also offer secure online sessions for busy families. I use tailored assessment insights and gentle, brain‑based techniques, pacing interventions to suit attention, regulate anxiety and help process traumatic responses, with clear, practical goals between meetings. Families who prefer steady, curious, structured progress tend to find this way of working helpful.
