“I am an Educational Psychologist and Registered Counsellor licensed with the HPCSA, and am passionate about reflection and growth. I specialise in CBT, DBT, neurodiversity and family therapy.

About Me

My passion lies in fostering reflection and growth, helping you understand your unique learning and emotional world. I offer a collaborative space to make sense of experiences and explore challenges. We'll find clear, practical strategies for well-being, whether navigating educational hurdles or personal development. This approach supports individuals ready to turn difficulties into opportunities for lasting growth.

Approach

Mapping patterns in learning and relationships guides how I work, turning moments of confusion into clear, manageable steps. In Stellenbosch and online, in English or Afrikaans, sessions balance focused skill practice with space to reflect, and I often set brief between-session tasks to try new approaches at home or at school. With adolescents and families I combine small behavioural experiments and family problem-solving, pacing sessions to each person’s tempo while keeping caregivers informed. This practical, reflective pace suits those seeking steady, useful change alongside greater self-understanding.
