About Me
Approach
My integrated therapy for my clients incorporates many aspects of different frameworks.
Each process we enter from our childhood into our adulthood creates an opportunity for us to engage with a new sense self and to overcome challenges.
Finding and or exploring and expanding your narrative can generate a healing space within the safety of the therapeutic frame.
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.
Services
I provide individual therapy to adults, adolescents, and play therapy with young children. I also offer family therapy and online services during the COVID-19 crisis.
I also provide assessment services in the form of Diagnostic and Intellectual Assessments. The Intellectual Assessments is geared towards children from 6 years old up to adolescents.
The purpose of these assessments could be to gain insight into school performance and a holistic learning and cognitive profile and finding appropriate intervention strategies for example extra lessons, remedial assistance, school placement, occupational therapy, speech therapy etc.
