I am an educational psychologist with 30 years' experience working therapeutically and diagnostically with children and adolescents. I completed my Masters degree in Psychology during a transformative time in 1994 at the erstwhile University of Natal, Durban. I am currently reading for my Doctor of Psychology in Child and Adolescent Psychology at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, in my desire and commitment to ever-advancing my knowledge and evidence-based practice.
I have worked with children, adolescents, parents, families, and adults in a range of contexts, spanning mental health facilities, Non-government organisations, various educational institutions and in private practice. I have lectured several Psychology Honours modules and supervised Honours students at the University of KwaZulu Natal, Varsity College and Midrand Graduate Institute.
My passion is providing therapy to children and adolescents, adopting a whole-child, attachment informed and family systems perspective. My therapeutic interventions are informed by diagnostic conceptualisation of the referral concerns for each individual young person within a developmental framework and appreciation for the uniqueness of each young person. Children and adolescents are inextricably nested within their families of varying configuration, and as such, my support focus extends beyond the child to significant adult figures involved in his/her life. A multi-disciplinary team approach is essential to fully understanding the young person and to providing and recommending interventions for optimal development and psychological wellbeing.
Therefore, I work collaboratively in supporting my clients with other mental health and allied health professionals.
