About Me
This therapist offers a compassionate space for children and their parents to explore feelings and find understanding. Drawing on their experience as a social worker, they help families navigate challenges like anxiety or behavioural shifts. Sessions often involve guiding parents to support their child's emotional growth at home. This gentle approach creates a steady path for families seeking practical ways to build stronger connections and manage difficult times.
Approach
Warm, steady support meets practical steps as I shape sessions around a child’s rhythm and family routines. From my Cape Town practice and online in English, I use short, playful activities alongside calm conversations and gentle parent coaching so new skills can be tried at home. Sessions move at a child-friendly pace; parents are invited to notice small shifts, reflect briefly and bring observations back. This way tends to help families who want manageable, lasting change and clearer day-to-day connection.
