About Me

Approach

Psychometry frames how I explore strengths and learning needs, translating assessment findings into clear, practical steps you can use. Sessions—held in Sandton or online, in English or Afrikaans—are structured and paced to match an adolescent or caregiver’s capacity. We review test results together, set realistic targets, practice strategies between meetings, and I provide readable reports and guidance for schools or employers when helpful. This approach suits families and young people seeking precise insight and actionable plans.
