About Me

I offer a warm, supportive space to explore life's challenges. As a Registered Social Worker, I work alongside you. We'll make sense of your experiences and find a way forward together. We can gently unpack difficulties, focusing on your strengths and developing practical strategies. My aim is for you to feel heard, empowered to navigate your unique path with greater clarity.

Approach

I hold a calm, curious space that turns questions about relationships and behaviour into small, testable steps we can try together. In Pretoria or online in English, sessions move at the pace you need — with play, stories or drawings for little ones and guiding conversation for parents and adults — and I often suggest short between-session tasks to notice what changes. We map interaction patterns, try practical adjustments and track progress so you feel clearer and more capable; this way of working suits families and individuals seeking steady, achievable shifts.
