ABOUT ME

I have a passion for working with and helping children and young adults. I have experience assessing individuals and working therapeutically with them. My aim is to assist them on their path in reaching their full potential through building strengths, identifying coping skills and to bring about positive change in their lives. 

 

I have more than 10 years’ experience after completing my Bed FET teaching degree in 2008. An Honours degree in Educational Psychology (Cum Laude) followed in 2009, and I officially qualified as an Educational Psychologist after completing my Masters degree at the University of Johannesburg in 2015.

​

I practiced at Delta Park School (a school for learners from grade R to 12, with learning difficulties of various kinds and degrees) for 11 years in multiple roles. This allowed for greater understanding of children’s learning challenges, as I worked with learners of various backgrounds, abilities, and personal life stories.

 

In 2021 I decided to diversify and moved into Private Practice in order to expand my scope of engagement. At the practice I would like to continue to work with children, adolescents, young adults, and their parents striving towards positive outcomes.

​

I am registered with the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and I am the Vice Chairperson of the Educational Psychology Association of South Africa (EPASSA). 

​

I aim to INSPIRE both my clients, their families, educators and support network to reach for - and attain - emotional, psychological and academic GROWTH. Therapeutically, I seek to foster confidence in their abilities and resilience in trying situations while considering the importance of INDIVIDUALITY.  

 

My practice is based on a positive ethos model, as I BELIEVE that all individuals have the ability to face challenges and achieve positive outcomes, but at times, need assistance to identify their own inner strengths. When working with my clients, I use a client centered and holistic approach and thus adapt both therapy and assessments to the individual needs of my clients. Therefore, I use a variety of therapy techniques to bring about change and assist my clients on their path to success.
