About Me
I’m Cathryne, an educational psychologist who supports children, teens, adults, and families. I provide a warm, open space to help you navigate learning, emotional, and life transitions. We will collaboratively explore your unique profile, ensuring each evidence-based session is tailored to your needs. My compassionate approach helps clients clarify challenges and build practical ways forward.
Approach
By attending to how learning, emotion and identity show up day-to-day, I guide a steady, practical exploration that helps you make sense of patterns and choose small, doable changes. Sessions in Cape Town or online, in English or Afrikaans, are paced to your energy—blending focused assessment, brief teaching moments and collaborative problem-solving, with clear feedback between meetings. I balance structure with flexibility so adolescents, parents and young adults feel heard and practice useful skills. This way of working often suits those facing school, identity or burnout challenges.
