Ms Claire Kingwill

Educational Psychologist

“Educational Psychologist working with children & adolescents using psycho-educational assessments to identify strengths & areas of support.”

About Me

I help children and adolescents explore their unique learning and emotional landscapes. Using psycho-educational assessments, I identify their strengths and pinpoint areas for support. This holistic view helps parents find clear pathways to help their child thrive, academically and emotionally.

Approach

Assessments become a collaborative map that guides playful, evidence-informed sessions and practical strategies. In my Somerset West office, conducted in English, I make use of various assessments to gain a better understanding of each child's unique strengths and areas of development. Families seeking respectful, practical support often find this way helpful.
