In this final stage of the Gifted Journey, we explore the late teen...

This is something very relevant and I see it a lot in my practice (especially with girls). Bullying...not the "loud" aggressive kind but the subtle kind... not the "kids just not getting along" kind but the purposefully ignoring, excluding and wearing down of someone.

Parents are quick to say "my child wasn't part of it". Truth is, when your child stood by when another child was purposefully excluded, ignored or taunted for example - your child was part of it.

Let's teach our kids kindness and empathy. Let's teach our kids to be UPstanders instead of BYstanders... you don't have to be loud about it, you can be an upstander in many subtle ways, small actions that can be life-changing in some scenarios for some children.
"In a world where you can be anything...be kind"💛

Yes it's not just about what we say but rather how we say it that makes it land differently...it is also felt differently by both the speaker and the one receiving the message.

Our words can break down but it can also build...motivate and instill confidence💛

This. A good reminder for the start of a new school year!

The love, knowledge, and kindness we pour into children may reach far beyond what we can see. 🌱🌸

A patient moment, an encouraging word, a lesson shared, or a steady presence can become something they carry forward—and one day offer to someone else.

What we nurture today can bloom for generations. 🤍

I have been offering psychology services to children and their parent, as a HPCSA Registered Counsellor, privately and within the school setting, since 2009...that's 17 years (and counting!)

My approach is eclectic, drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy/DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/ACT and Solution-Focused therapy.

I work from a humanistic perspective, creating a safe and supportive space where children can be themselves, grow, develop self-understanding and experience themselves as whole, capable individuals.

At the heart of my work is empowerment. I believe that helping children recognise their strentgths, develop a sense of agency and feel empowered to make meaningful choices, is at the essence of lasting change.

ALL Children are:
💛Innately good and capable:
💛Can self-govern and make developmentally appropriate choices;
💛Capable of insight;
💛Resilient;
💛Worthy of acceptance and love;
💛Grow and thrive in their relationships with others.
