About Me
As an experienced Educational Psychologist, I guide individuals navigating learning and developmental challenges. My practical, real-world approach helps you find effective strategies for daily life. I genuinely love supporting clients to understand their strengths and develop actionable ways forward. With online services available, I provide accessible guidance for clear, supportive steps toward educational and emotional well-being.
Approach
Sessions follow a practical, solution-focused rhythm that turns daily challenges into small, doable steps—gentle, structured and paced to suit each child and caregiver. Whether we meet in Hermanus or online, in Afrikaans or English, I use observation, play and clear feedback to map strengths, assess needs and co-create short-term strategies you can try between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple, concrete ways so families feel steady forward movement; this style often suits parents and teens seeking hands-on, realistic change.
