I am passionate about education and enjoy working with children of all ages, as well as adolescents. As a former high school English teacher, I’m well aware of the challenges that children face academically, developmentally, socially and emotionally throughout their school years.

As an Educational Psychologist, I provide therapeutic support for children and adolescents using a person-centred approach and include play therapy for younger clients. I have a special interest in anxiety, emotional regulation, mindfulness, self-development and social development.

I am an Educational Psychologist providing therapy for children of all ages, including adolescents. I believe in working to support children in every area of development to assist them in reaching their cognitive, academic, emotional and social potential. I provide psychoeducational assessments to identify barriers to learning and determine what assistance a child needs in terms of school placement, learning support, and/or accommodations in tests and examinations. I have a special interest in career counselling and provide career assessments for people of all ages, including high school learners, young adults and adults already in the workplace.

I also provide an array of assessments, including:

• Psychoeducational assessments to determine whether a child has special education needs, what school environment they would be best suited to, and what day-to-day academic support they need most.

•  

• Accommodations (concessions) assessments for adolescents (Grade 8 to Matric) to determine whether a child qualifies for accommodations in formal tests and examinations, such as additional time, a reader, a scribe, a Mathematics exemption, etc.

•  

• Subject choice assessments to assist Grade 9 learners in choosing their subjects for Grade 10 based on their interests, personality and aptitude.

•  

• Career assessments and career counselling for high school learners, young adults, and adults considering a career change or adjustment based on interests, personality and aptitude. I use the career story and life design approach to career counselling, where I love to assist people in constructing the story that they would like to tell about themselves and their future careers.
