Nicole has always had a love of working with and supporting the youth, and this passion has driven her life pursuit to assist children and adolescents struggling with emotional, behavioural, or learning difficulties.

She is a qualified Educational Psychologist, assisting children and adolescents with therapy (play therapy and psychotherapy) and assessments (psychoeducational and concession assessments). Through these services, she strives to develop a child's coping strategies and personal agency in order to overcome various difficulties in the school or home environment. Nicole aims to do this by working collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and teachers to best assist these children and adolescents.

Nicole pursued an Honours degree in Psychology and Masters degree in Educational Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand. Before starting her Masters degree, she also completed a short course in Practical Psychometry (University of Johannesburg), registering as a Psychometrist thereafter. Nicole has gained experience working with children, adolescents, and university students, as well as volunteering at a center of learning that focuses on improving the emotional development and wellbeing of children under 7, their parents, and other caregivers around Alexandra Township in Johannesburg. She has also hosted workshops for parents and teachers, which focus on using positive discipline within the home and school environments by setting boundaries. Before relocating to Cape Town, Nicole spent time working in private practice and previously worked in a number of schools in Johannesburg, seeing children and adolescents who required therapy or assessments. Nicole enjoys being active and spending time outdoors, with her husband and daughter.
