About Me

As an experienced Educational Psychologist, I support children and their families to understand and navigate challenges. We explore unique learning styles and emotional needs, working together to find practical strategies. Sessions are offered face-to-face or online, tailoring support to fit your family's life. My aim is to help every child flourish, supporting families to navigate their journey.

Approach

Practical, child-centred strategies shape how challenges are explored, with sessions paced to match each child's attention and family routines. I offer in-person appointments in Sandton alongside secure English-language video sessions, keeping continuity whether we meet face-to-face or virtually. Work often blends playful assessment, collaborative planning and short, school- or home-based tasks so progress can be observed between meetings, especially for attention, learning and behavioural concerns. Families seeking clear, manageable steps tend to find this steady, hands-on way of working helpful.
