Mr Aadil Naidoo

Licensed Educational Psychologist

As a psychologist, I have a passion for assisting clients through psychometric assessment and therapeutic intervention.

About Me

I help clients understand their unique learning and emotional landscapes. Through careful psychometric assessment, I uncover individual strengths and challenges, providing clarity for families and educators. My therapeutic interventions then guide you towards practical strategies for navigating difficulties and building confidence. This blend of insight and support is ideal for those seeking clear pathways to thrive.

Approach

My sessions focus on translating assessment insight into practical, paced work that feels manageable and goal‑oriented. Based in Pretoria, I offer therapy in English and Afrikaans, with both face‑to‑face and online options to fit family and school timetables. Work tends to alternate between interactive, age‑appropriate tasks for children and adolescents and focused dialogue for adults, with clear written feedback and stepwise recommendations between meetings to support progress. This way of working often helps families and individuals who want structured, understandable routes forward.
