Supporting emotional wellbeing, learning, and development across the lifespan

Educational psychology services for children, adolescents, and young adults, including therapy, assessments, and practical support

About me & my practice

Nestled in Benoni, I am an Educational Psychologist working with children, adolescents, and young adults, supporting a range of emotional, behavioural, and learning-related challenges.

My work is grounded in understanding how early experiences shape the way we learn, cope, and connect. I draw on brain-based approaches, including the Interactional Brain-Based Approach (IBBA) and Teddy Bear Therapy, to support meaningful and lasting change.

I value working collaboratively with my clients, creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and responsive to each individual’s needs.

My Approach

My approach is integrative and adapted to the needs of each individual. I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive, behavioural, play-based, and brain-based approaches. I am particularly interested in how patterns of behaviour and emotional responses develop over time, often as adaptive ways of coping with earlier experiences.

Therapy is not only about talking — especially when language reaches its limits. Underpinning my work is an understanding of how the nervous system shapes behaviour, emotional responses, and learning. I aim to support regulation, helping clients better understand their responses, build resilience, and develop more flexible ways of coping and engaging with their environment.

Each intervention is tailored to the individual, with the goal of supporting long-term growth, meaningful change, and a greater sense of ease in daily functioning.
