Carla Richards

Educational Psychologist

“Therapy & Asssessments with a focus on children with ADHD, Learning Difficulties, Anxiety, High Sensitivity, and Giftedness. Practices in Pinehaven (West Rand) and Fourways.”

About Me

I support children navigating ADHD, learning struggles, anxiety, high sensitivity, and giftedness through careful assessment and ongoing therapy. With an M.Ed in Educational Psychology, I use play-based activities and structured feedback to help each child build confidence and practical skills. Sessions in Pinehaven or Fourways are designed to include parents in the process, making progress visible at school and home. Families appreciate my steady guidance and the clear steps I offer for real-life challenges.

Approach

Assessment informs playful, goal-focused sessions that balance clear structure with space for a child’s curiosity. I meet families in Pinehaven or Fourways, offer Afrikaans and English appointments, and provide online sessions when travel or school commitments make that easier. Therapy uses short, hands-on tasks, targeted skill rehearsal and brief parent or teacher check-ins so new strategies move into classroom and home routines; we set small, measurable steps and review progress each visit. This way of working suits children and teens who need predictable pacing and practical tools.
