Kayla Davids

Registered Counselor

“As a HPCSA Registered Counsellor, I specialise in working with children, adolescents, and families. With a client-centred and solution-focused approach, I tailor sessions to your unique needs, both online and in person. I offer psychometric assessments for school readiness and career guidance.”

About Me

I understand that each child, teenager, and family faces unique challenges. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can explore concerns and discover strengths. Sessions are carefully tailored to your unique needs, available online or in person. We focus on practical solutions together. I also offer psychometric assessments, helping young people navigate school readiness or career paths. My aim is to help families find clarity and move forward with confidence.

Approach

Creating a steady, practical space, I combine gentle curiosity with clear, goal-focused steps so children, teens and caregivers feel understood and able to act. Sessions are held in Cape Town or via secure online meetings in English, paced to attention spans and family rhythms. Assessment findings, play-based exploration and focused problem-solving shape short-term plans we review together; I often suggest simple between-session tasks and give clear feedback parents can use immediately. This approach suits families navigating school challenges or life transitions who want practical progress.
