Educational Psychologist

“Private and convenient therapy and psycho-educational assessments”

About Me

As an Educational Psychologist, I support children, young people, and their families. My private therapy helps overcome learning and developmental hurdles. Comprehensive psycho-educational assessments provide clear understanding of individual strengths and challenges. We develop tailored strategies for academic success and emotional growth. Clients find my convenient approach particularly helpful. It offers personalised guidance and practical tools to navigate school life effectively.

Approach

Confidential, accessible support guides how I structure sessions: focused, time-efficient meetings in Jeffreys Bay, conducted in English, Afrikaans or Sign Language to suit your family’s needs. Assessment findings are translated into clear steps we try out together — short, practical strategies for school and home, with reviewed progress each session and simple tasks between meetings. Sessions balance calm pacing with direct feedback so children, adolescents and parents feel capable and prepared. This way of working suits families seeking straightforward, usable solutions.
