About Me

Cara Blackie is an experienced educational psychologist dedicated to supporting young children and adolescents. She carefully assesses each young person's unique needs, collaborating with families to build effective therapy plans.

Parents seeking clear understanding and practical strategies for their child's development will find her a skilled and compassionate guide.

Approach

With young people I translate assessment findings into clear, manageable steps that feel practical for home, school and everyday life. Sessions in my Sandton clinic (conducted in English) move at a steady, collaborative pace: we review observations, try short, structured tasks together, and set small between-session goals so progress is visible. I work closely with caregivers and teachers to keep strategies consistent across settings. This approach suits families seeking straightforward explanations and hands-on, sustainable support.
