I am a registered Psychometrist with the HPCSA. I provide psychological assessment for various needs. Results from assessments provide insight into underlying constructs of a person, and can help to explain observable behaviour. Psychometric assessment results can be used for exam concessions, special school placement, remdial intervention, career guidance, and subject choices. More information can be found on my website.

Are you wondering if you, your teen, or your child might have autism, ADHD or something similar? Maybe you’ve Googled things like ‘Why doesn’t my child play with other children?’ or ‘Why do I feel so different from everyone else?’ These questions are more common than you think — and they’re often the first steps toward understanding how and why our brains work differently. The term ‘Neurodiversity’ refers to the many unique and different ways the brain functions, and the impact these differences can have on daily life.

I offer counselling and therapeutic life coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel some confusion. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and be able to see what started it. Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and my purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find success, purpose and meaning in your life. I will be with you all the way

You might be someone who’s held a lot—quietly, competently, often alone. You long for space that’s gentle, honest, and attuned. Maybe you’re navigating trauma, grief, burnout, identity shifts, or relational pain. You want clarity without pressure, care without performance. Therapy is collaborative, paced with consent, and shaped by your voice. You don’t need to be “ready”—just willing to be met.

Feeling stuck in life, overwelmed, anxious, or not good enough? These are all surface symptoms of a deeper underlying problem - your programming in your subconscious mind. It rules your beliefs, habits and behaviours, and even overrides your willpower to change.

I have experience in helping clients with challenges relating to depression, anxiety, trauma and grief - as symptoms of existing conditions, and/or as responses to circumstantial stress. I am also experienced in helping clients with the management of neurodivergent disorders (ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder). My approach pulls away from over analysis and rumination, towards figuring out how to sustainably feel and be better. This is accomplished by emphasising healthy thinking, health feeling and healthy behaving.

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.

Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
