About Me
I am a compassionate, solution-focused psychologist, working predominantly with children, adolescents, and their caregivers. Together, we explore challenges and build on strengths. Our sessions offer practical tools and understanding, supporting well-being at home and school. This collaborative approach creates a clear path forward. Families seeking grounded, practical support for young people to thrive will find a good match here.
Approach
That practical focus shapes how I structure sessions in Sandton, with English as our working language and appointments arranged around family routines. I work at a steady, hands-on pace: brief activities and play for younger children, focused conversations and goal-setting with adolescents, and clear, collaborative strategies for caregivers to try between meetings. Assessments feed directly into planning so insights become manageable steps at home and school. Parents and teens seeking clear, achievable progress often find this way of working helpful.
