Carla van Zijl

Since registering with the HPCSA in 2015, Carla has been actively involved with Claremont Practice as a Psychometrist and Registered Counsellor. In addition, Carla has offered student counselling services at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. She also spent some time as a School Counsellor at Edgemead High School. Since 2021, Carla provides psychometric assessments for adolescent patients at the AKESO clinic in Milnerton and works closely with the referring Psychiatrists and Psychologists. In collaboration with Stellenbosch University, Carla also offers BPsych Equivalent Psychometry Internships.

 

Her interest in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) led to her working with the Neurodiversity Centre (NDC) where she offered psychometric testing for children with ADHD or Autism. Carla provided assessments for learners at the Boland School for Autism in Paarl as well. 

 

Currently, Carla is working towards a Diploma in Animal Behaviour through COAPE International after which she hopes to further her studies in the field of Animal Assisted Therapy.
