About Me

This Registered Counsellor helps individuals and families navigate life's challenges. With extensive experience in public and private education and mental health, they offer tailored support. They provide psycho-educational guidance to help clients understand their experiences and build practical coping strategies. Those seeking grounded, compassionate support for developmental or learning hurdles will find a knowledgeable partner here.

Approach

Grounded, compassionate support shapes a structured yet flexible process that balances careful assessment with practical interventions. In Cape Town I work in English with children, adolescents and parents, keeping sessions predictable and paced to each person's needs. We blend play-based exploration, targeted diagnostic tasks and collaborative goal-setting, then translate findings into clear, everyday steps and brief home or school activities. This way of working tends to help families and young people who want accurate understanding and doable strategies.
