ABOUT ME
A Personalised
Approach
After completing school, I obtained a Bachelor of Music (BMus) degree from the University of Pretoria. During this time, I discovered a passion for teaching and supporting children within educational settings. This led me to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education through UNISA, after which I began my teaching career in London as a relief teacher.
Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with learners and students across a variety of ages and educational settings. My experience includes teaching in both mainstream and private primary schools, as well as lecturing young adults at a TVET college. I completed a Master's degree in Educational Psychology at the University of Johannesburg. Since then, I have worked in both school-based and private practice settings.
I enjoy working with clients across different life stages, from children aged five and older to adolescents and adults. I take a holistic approach to my work and strive to create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable and supported, whether they are attending an assessment or engaging in therapy.
I am fluent in both Afrikaans and English and welcome enquiries from individuals, families, and schools. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of growth, learning, and well-being.

A Personalised Therapeutic Approach
I believe every person is unique and deserves an approach that is tailored to their individual needs, strengths, and circumstances.
My work is grounded in a client-centred approach, creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected.
Rather than relying on a single therapeutic modality, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches and adapt these to meet the specific needs of each individual and family.
Approaches include:
• Positive Psychology
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Solution Focused Therapy
• Brain-Based Approaches for Trauma and Anxiety
I believe every person possesses unique character strengths that can help them navigate life's challenges. My role is to help clients discover these strengths, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies that enable them to become the best version of themselves.
