Professional Background
I am an Internationally Accredited Mediator with the ADR Register and SAAM (South African Association of Mediators). I obtained my training certification from The Mediation Academy, graduating Magna Cum Laude. My mediation practice is grounded in fairness, empathy, and a solutions-focused approach—especially in family and divorce-related matters.
In addition to Mediation am a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP) and hold a BSocSci degree (Cum Laude) with majors in Psychology and Counselling, as well as an Honours Degree in Psychology with a specialisation in Counselling. My academic background is complemented by extensive training and practical experience in the counselling field, where I have had the privilege of working with individuals across various life stages and a wide range of personal and emotional challenges.
My passion for working with children and young adults led me to become a certified Voice of the Child Practitioner. In this role, I am able to conduct and compile comprehensive Voice of the Child Assessments for use in the South African courts. In terms of the Children’s Act, children are entitled to participate in matters affecting them, in a manner appropriate to their age, maturity, and stage of development. A Voice of the Child Assessment provides children with a safe and supportive opportunity to express their views, wishes, and experiences regarding the parental rights and responsibilities of the parties involved.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to well-respected organisations such as Helpende Hand, and Children’s Court Pro-Bono Project where I upheld strong ethical standards and a commitment to meaningful, client-centred care.
