Danie Lodewyckx

Licensed Educational Psychologist

“Educational psychologist with over 40 years industry experience as Head of the department of educations, psychology directorate.”

About Me

I bring over 40 years of experience as an educational psychologist to help children, young people, and families navigate learning and developmental challenges. My extensive background as Head of a psychology directorate offers clear, compassionate insights into complex educational and emotional needs. We can work together to clarify concerns and develop practical, tailored strategies for confidence and well-being. Clients value my grounded guidance and the steady path it provides.

Approach

Clinical leadership shapes how I structure sessions—steady, focused and collaborative, with clear steps we follow together. From my Gordonsbay office or online, in English or Afrikaans, I set a measured pace that balances assessment, reflection and pragmatic planning so families and young people feel guided rather than overwhelmed. Sessions often include structured observations, targeted testing and short homework tasks that translate findings into classroom and home strategies. This approach suits those seeking clear, evidence-aware direction through learning or developmental difficulties.
