Mr Francois Smit

Educational Psychologist

About Me

I help children and young people unlock their learning potential and navigate school life with confidence. Through tailored assessments, I offer practical strategies to understand challenges like ADHD or anxiety. Sessions provide clear, actionable steps for students and parents, fostering a supportive bridge between home and school. My calm, collaborative approach ensures every individual's unique strengths are recognised and nurtured.

Approach

Helping students and parents translate assessment findings into everyday routines is where the work unfolds: sessions focus on small, practical experiments that boost coping and confidence while keeping pace gentle and predictable. I offer face-to-face appointments in Pretoria, sessions in Afrikaans or English, and secure online meetings when that suits family schedules. Together we track what reduces anxiety or reactivity, practice grounding and planning between meetings, and adjust strategies to fit school days and family life. This way of working suits families and young people seeking steady, practical progress.
