About Me

I am an Educational Psychologist based in Parkmore, Gauteng, South Africa. I assess and treat children and adolescents for anxiety, mood and conduct problems, divorce-related issues, and learning or developmental difficulties. I offer intellectual and diagnostic assessments, child psychological assessments, child and adolescent therapy, and counselling.

Approach

Assessment informs every therapeutic step, so sessions blend careful testing feedback with practical, age-appropriate strategies families can use straight away. From my Sandton office I offer in-person assessments and online therapy in English and Afrikaans, keeping sessions focused, predictable and paced to each child or young adult. We track small changes between meetings through brief tasks, teacher or parent check-ins and tailored home strategies when mood, anxiety or learning needs shift. This way of working suits parents and adolescents seeking clear guidance and measurable progress.
