The pressure to perform, especially in our economy, can have serious impact on mental and physical health. Holidays, chocolate, exercise… all the go to usuals… are often not enough. Conceptualising and targeting with BWRT to make real changes within the brain, can have lasting results for better coping and overall a happier life.

Anxiety and panic attacks rarely just disappear. They may spread and infect other areas of life. Medication may help but it can be a band aid rather than a lasting solution. BWRT is a targeted, short term intervention for lasting change.

Working with the brain to make real and lasting changes is my passion. Therapy should produce felt results and changes.

Support and understanding aren’t always enough. Anxiety can become like a habit and spread to other areas.

Difficulties are usually easier to treat when they first manifest.

Excited to announce that the CTOPP-2 has officially arrived in my practice!

I specifically invested in this assessment to help make specialised learning and dyslexia-related assessment more accessible within the Zululand area.

The CTOPP-2 helps assess the underlying phonological processing skills linked to:
✔ dyslexia
✔ reading difficulties
✔ spelling difficulties
✔ reading fluency difficulties
✔ rapid naming difficulties

It can help us better understand why some bright children continue to struggle academically despite good reasoning ability.

Assessment selection is always based on the individual child’s presentation and clinical needs.

☀️ Some things are within our control. Some things aren’t.

Mindfulness isn’t about controlling everything that happens around us—it’s about bringing our attention back to what we can influence.

We can’t control the weather, other people’s opinions, or the passage of time. But we can choose how we respond, how we care for ourselves, where we invest our energy, and how we treat others.

When life feels overwhelming, try asking yourself:

💛 What is within my control right now?
💛 What can I let go of?
💛 What small step can I take today?

Shifting your focus from what you can’t control to what you can is a powerful way to reduce stress, build resilience, and create more space for intentional action.

✨ Where is your attention today—in your circle of control or outside of it?

‘According to research’ sounds so reliable and official. But does it actually mean anything or is it just a hook to have you spend money without returns? With many posting on social media and offering all sorts of solutions for improving mental health it can be confusing if not daunting. Perhaps even more so when it comes to your child. In this podcast I discuss with .snyman.journalist how to get the most out of professional therapy and what to consider when choosing a therapist including for children. https://www.mariettesnyman.co.za/blog/how-to-optimise-therapy
