I am a registered Educational Psychologist with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults to overcome learning barriers and reach their full potential.
My career began in South Africa where I completed a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology and an internship through the Child and Family Centre. I registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa in 2010 and worked across a range of educational and clinical settings, providing assessment, intervention, and consultation services.
I have specialist expertise in a wide range of assessments, including:
I have also been involved in curriculum development and the design of teacher training programmes that translate psychological theory into practical classroom strategies. A core focus of my work is empowering teachers and parents with evidence-based tools to create inclusive, responsive learning environments.
In 2022, I relocated to Aotearoa New Zealand and registered with the New Zealand Psychologists Board. I worked within the Ministry of Education’s Learning Support (severe behaviour service), supporting complex cases and collaborating with teachers, whānau, professionals, and other agencies.
This mahi has strengthened my understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and continues to guide my development toward culturally responsive and meaningful practice.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I aim to provide clear and practical assessment feedback with recommendations that can be implemented across home, school, and community settings. My goal is to support each learner to build confidence and achieve meaningful progress.
I provide educational and developmental assessments to help clarify learning strengths and support needs. My approach is thorough, practical, and focused on building confidence at school, work, and home.
Book an AppointmentEducational psychology is about understanding how people learn, think, and develop — whether at school, work, or in everyday life. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults to help them discover their strengths and overcome challenges.
For me, this work is about more than assessments and reports. It’s about uncovering small, meaningful insights that can make a real difference. Just like learning itself, progress often comes in steps, guided by curiosity, support, and understanding.
That’s what my approach to educational psychology is all about.
