Individual Counselling
Adult / adolescent / child
Individual counselling sessions are structured according to the client's needs and goals. These sessions are for adults and adolescents, including but not limited to trauma counselling, bereavement, personal development, self-esteem, resilience and stress management.
I also work with children through play.
Each session is usually 50min.
Aptitude Assessments
Adult / adolescent / child
Aptitude can be regarded as the potential which a person has and which enables him / her to attain a specific level of ability with a given amount of training and/or practice.
Depending on the age and needs of the client, different aptitude assessments can be done with either a child, adolescent, or adult.
This service includes an intake session, assessment, verbal feedback session, and written report.
Career Guidance and Assessment
Adult / Adolescent
A career choice should be based on the requirements stipulated by occupation concerning aptitude, interest and personality. An individual must meet these requirements as research has shown that this combination most often leads to success in an occupation.
This service includes a 4-5 hour psychometric assessment of personality, aptitude and interest, 60min feedback session, as well as a written report of the results with recommendations.
Individual career guidance sessions (50min each) also available.
Subject choices

This service includes a 4-5 hour psychometric assessment of personality, aptitude and interest, 60min feedback session, as well as a written report of the results with recommendations.

Educational Support
I provide educational support that includes, but are not limited to, study management, study methods, motivation, goal setting, time-management, and learning strategies.
