Frequently Asked Questions


Are you contracted with medical aids?

Yes, I am contracted with most medical aids - if you have psychology benefits available, a standard 1-hour consultations should be covered in full. Most medical aids, however, do not cover the full cost of neuropsychological assessments (mainly due to additional and longer sessions required). You can contact me directly for more information. I submit directly to medical aids.

I do not have medical aid, what is your hourly rate?

My hourly rate is R1300.

Can you prescribe medicine or do a physical exam?

I am a neuropsychologist, not a medical doctor, and therefore do not prescribe medicine or provide physical exams. I do, however, work closely with patients’ GPs, psychiatrists, or physicians where medical management is needed.

Can I book a sleep study or sleep apnea test with you directly?

I do not offer sleep studies or sleep apnea tests directly. You would have to get tested at a sleep lab/hospital near you. I do review results and take the findings into consideration in diagnosis and management.

Do you work with toddlers or children?

My area of expertise include working with older teenagers (>15 years) and adults. I unfortunately do not work with infants, toddlers, children or young teenagers.

I don’t live in the Western Cape, do you offer online consultations?

I do offer online consultations for sleep/insomnia and psychological support/psychoeducation. However, neuropsychological assessments need to be conducted in-person since there are practical tasks and tests involved. Feedback and follow-up sessions can be done online.

Do you offer consultations over the weekend?

Unfortunately I do not offer consultations over the weekend.

Do I need a referral to book a consultation?

No, you do not need a referral to book a consultation with me.
