About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Neurodiversity Centre KZN LAB, this practice is deeply committed to helping individuals and families. The focus is on navigating neurodevelopmental differences across all ages and presentations. A collaborative space is offered, dedicated to understanding each unique presentation and building strengths. This approach ensures tailored support for every person's journey, from childhood through to adulthood.

Approach

Passion for assisting diverse neurodevelopmental presentations guides how therapy unfolds, shaping a practical, respectful pace that fits each person. From my Ballito practice I offer English sessions in-person and online, scheduling with families and individuals to suit school and work rhythms. Sessions blend careful observation, structured conversation and small, manageable tasks between meetings, with caregivers invited into planning where helpful. Those seeking clear, strength-based ways to understand and manage neurodevelopmental differences often find this collaborative, focused approach useful.
