About the presenter
After pursuing my studies on a part-time basis while raising my children, I enrolled as a full-time student at the University of Stellenbosch in 2004. In 2006, I registered as a Counselling Psychologist after obtaining my Master’s degree (cum laude).
I completed my internship with an NGO in 2005 in both clinical and counselling settings and remained in the employ of the NGO after qualifying as a Counselling Psychologist. The NGO offered counselling services at a number of schools in the area, and worked very closely with the local social workers. At the same time, I rendered services at our local FAMSA branch, gaining rich and diverse experience in dealing with family related matters while building up my private practice. I qualified as a mediator with FAMAC and am very actively involved in the drafting of parenting plans to guide parents going through the process of divorce and separation. I offer an emotional assessment to cooperative parents to determine effective care and contact schedules and work very closely with members of the legal fraternity in this regard.
I am currently a faculty member at Cornerstone Institute where I lecturer in Family Psychology and Psychometric Assessment. I also act as a supervisor for students in their post-graduate programs, in addition to offering supervision to Registered Counsellors and fellow psychologists.
I have been in private practice for more than 15 years. Over the years, I have developed a diverse multi-disciplinary network, and thoroughly enjoy engaging with a variety of professionals to ensure best approach for each client and each situation.
