I am Claudi Davel

I am a certified Play Therapists and a qualified (non-practicing) Psychometrist. For the past 14 years I have had the privilege to provide therapeutic services to children and their families at various pre- and primary schools, as well as in private practice. I have specialist training in Play Therapy and can daily see how easily children take to it and how effective it is.

My qualifications include:

B. Soc.Sci (Psychology) – UP

B.Ed Honors (Educational Psychology) – UP

M.Diac (Play Therapy) – UNISA

Post-graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play – APAC / PTI

Post-graduate Diploma in Play Therapy – APAC / PTI

As a mom, I have learned valuable insights into the pleasures and pain of parenting and the world in which our children live. I have gained a sober and honest perspective in that each child and their world of living should be individually considered for us to help him/her reach their full potential. It is such a privilege to work with children and to help them thrive.

During 2011 & 2012 I presented discussion groups for colleagues as professional development opportunity. Because of my passion for the profession and acknowledging the lack of available training, a colleague, Marié Otto, and I, started M&C Training in 2012. We pride ourselves on providing workshops and seminars of the highest standard to Mental Health Professionals and Teachers, who work with children.
