Nicole offers two services, namely assessments (psychoeducational and concessions) and therapy (play therapy and psychotherapy, as well as parent guidance).

Assessments:
A psychological assessment provides a holistic representation of one's child. These assessments aim to provide understanding about their behaviour and emotional difficulties, intellectual level, academic skills and scholastic performance, and therefore, overall functioning.

1. Psychoeducational assessments:
This provides valuable insight into why a child may be struggling at home or at school. Therefore, whether it is related to poor academic performance or emotional difficulties, an assessment will help with deciding the appropriate intervention needed. Note, Nicole is able to provide psychoeducational assessments for children aged 6 - 16 years 11 months.

2. Concession/accommodation assessments:
Such concessions or accommodations can be applied for with the Western Cape Education Department. These assist those learners who struggle academically, and aim to provide additional assistance to reach their potential during tests and examinations. Nicole is able to provide such assessments for children up to 16 years 11 months.

Therapy:
Therapy focuses on enhancing the emotional well-being of the individual by providing weekly sessions in a safe space to explore and overcome any stressors that may be hindering them personally.

1. Play therapy:
Available for children between the ages of 5 and 13 years and assist children struggling emotionally through the medium of play. Due to children struggling to accurately communicate their difficulties through words, toys and play become their tools to communicate. Thus, play therapy provides a space to play out these difficulties and learn to cope with them appropriately. Some reasons for play therapy may include anxiety, behavioural difficulties, difficulties between siblings or peers, and so on.

2. Psychotherapy:
This may be more appropriate for teens and adolescents, and also provides a space for them to deal with any issues, whether those originate at home or at school with peers and friends. Adolescents can be faced with many overwhelming changes, and therapy can support them in establishing who they are. Difficulties may include bullying, peer pressures, poor academic performance, and anxiety.

3. Parental guidance:
Although Nicole's main focus in therapy will be to act in the best interest of the child, it is vital to work with parents, families, and schools to best support the child. Thus, parental guidance forms a crucial part of the therapeutic process as Nicole will offer support for the identified concerns.
