Our People

Tell us a bit about your experience

After completing my honours in Psychology, I devoted time to voluntary work in informal settlements and hospitals in India, igniting my passion for working with children and families. Subsequently, I pursued a postgraduate degree in Psychometric Assessments while engaging with children ranging from 5 years old to university students at the University of Johannesburg. This experience led me to a role in corporate HR and learning and development for four years. However, my deep-seated desire to work directly with children persisted, prompting me to undergo training in life coaching for children and later in Play Therapy. During my journey into Play Therapy, I owned and managed a preschool.

What inspired you to work in Play Therapy?

My passion lies in supporting children facing challenges beyond their control. I'm captivated by the use of play to establish connections with children, facilitating exploration of solutions to cope with their worries, fears, sadness, and challenging circumstances. The versatility of tools and resources available for each child's exploration is particularly rewarding. Above all, it's a privilege to provide a safe haven where children can authentically express themselves, aiding them in thriving.

What do you like most about your job?

Witnessing the impact of the playroom on each child is immensely gratifying. Being part of a process that empowers children to freely explore, discover their own solutions, and unlock their full potential is truly remarkable.

What kind of play do you enjoy the most?

I love the multisensory experience of beach play, the engagement of board games, the joy of silliness with my son, and the freedom of expression through dance.
