Mrs Gwyneth Salepas, MEd

Educational Psychologist

“A compassionate educational psychologist working predominantly with children and adolescents.”

About Me

I am a compassionate Educational Psychologist dedicated to supporting children and adolescents. I understand the unique pressures young people face, whether with learning, emotions, or school life. We work together to uncover their strengths and build practical strategies for overcoming challenges. I aim to create a space where your child feels truly understood, fostering confidence and helping them thrive.

Approach

Gentle curiosity shapes how I explore each child's difficulties, keeping attention on strengths and everyday routines while inviting parents into the process. Between appointments, I share practical suggestions families can try at home and review progress together.
