I am a Counselling Psychologist working in private practice in the Edenvale area, Johannesburg. I have a passion for working with children. I specialise in play therapy with children, individual psychotherapy with adolescents, and psycho-educational assessments. I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa and Board of Health Care Funders.
Play therapy
I specialise in Individual Play Therapy with children from ages 3.5 years to 11 years. Play Therapy provides a child with a safe environment through which they can explore their difficulties, resolve their conflicts and develop self-esteem, confidence, coping abilities and resilience. I believe in a systemic approach, incorporating the various support networks a child has, to optimise their coping abilities and development in all their environments, making the skills they acquire in therapy sustainable across all walks of life. Play Therapy can assist children to deal with:
Individual Psychotherapy for adolescents

Psycho-educational assessments are primarily focussed on diagnosing learning problems and/or determining the child’s emotional and academic strengths and weaknesses in order to design an effective intervention strategy or programme.

Office hours: Monday – Friday 8:00am – 18:30. Saturday 8:00 – 17:00, Sundays by arrangement.
