Approach

Working from Centurion, Pretoria, I keep sessions practical and paced to your rhythm, offering clear observations and concrete steps you can try between meetings. In either Afrikaans or English, appointments feel collaborative: we review learning patterns, test ideas in small ways and adjust based on what helps you or your child most.
