About Me
As a nurturing and empathetic Educational Psychologist, I specialise in helping children. My goal is to uncover their unique strengths and overcome learning challenges. My approach builds confidence, guiding them to reach their full potential. Online sessions offer flexible support, making tailored guidance easily accessible for families. This ensures every child can thrive academically and emotionally in a safe space.
Approach
Helping your child uncover strengths and navigate learning or emotional hurdles happens through calm, hands-on work that keeps their needs front and centre. In Cape Town I meet families in person and I also offer English-language support via secure video, with sessions paced to suit attention, age and family rhythms. Assessments and play-based therapy shape small, practical steps we practise together, with clear feedback and simple strategies to try between meetings. This way of working suits parents and adolescents who want steady, collaborative progress.
