My Services:

Psychological Assessments
I offer a wide range of assessments including psycho-educational assessments, accommodations applications for the IEB and GDE, and school readiness assessments. These assessments aim to determine a person's overall cognitive, scholastic and socio-emotional functioning and to identify strategies to support them. Assessments are conducted in either English or Afrikaans depending on their home language and language of instruction at school.

Play Therapy
Play therapy is a gentle and supportive way of helping children express and work through their emotions, especially when they struggle to put their feelings into words.
Through play, children can show us what's happening in their inner world. Toys, drawings, and stories become their language. In therapy, I observe and respond to this play in ways that help children feel understood, safe, and more in control of their feelings.

Individual Therapy (Adolescents and Adults)
The notion that only severely depressed and anxious people need therapy is outdated. Everyone is having difficulties in one or more aspects of their lives at any given time. Even if they are able to live a functional life. Most people can benefit from a therapeutic space to gain insight into the difficulties that prevent them from forming healthy relationships and functioning more optimally.

Parental Support
Parental support is strongly recommended, especially when your child is in therapy. It's common for parents to feel overwhelmed or unsure about their child's behaviour.
In our sessions, we will work together to:
-
Reflect on your child’s behaviour and explore what they might be trying to communicate
-
Understand your child’s emotional needs
-
Strengthen the connection between you and your child
We will also explore your own experiences of being parented, and how these may be shaping your current parenting style. This reflective space can be deeply supportive in helping you feel more confident and connected as a parent.
