Deena Naidoo
Educational Psychologist
“I create a warm, supportive environment where we can work together. My therapeutic approach uniquely blends evidence-based psychological methods with mindfulness technique when appropriate, offering a holistic path to healing and growth. Assessment services are designed to provide comprehensive, in-depth evaluations.”
About Me
In our warm, supportive environment, I guide individuals towards understanding and growth. My approach thoughtfully blends evidence-based psychological methods with mindfulness techniques for a holistic path. I also offer comprehensive assessments for deeper insight. This ensures tailored support, whether you are exploring complex emotions or seeking to understand your unique strengths.
Approach
Within a calm, respectful space I balance structured assessment with mindful, moment-to-moment work so we can map strengths and challenges clearly. In Cape Town I offer sessions in English or Afrikaans that move at a steady, collaborative pace—short check-ins, focused skill practice and reflective exercises you can try between meetings. For adolescents and families I integrate behavioural observation with practical, developmentally attuned strategies, keeping progress tangible. This way of working often suits people seeking clear insights and usable tools.
