Mrs Jeannette Korff-Ceronio

Educational Psychologist

An Educational Psychologist who feels passionate about the well-being of children and their families!

About Me

This Educational Psychologist is deeply passionate about supporting the well-being of children and their families. They help young people navigate challenges, fostering understanding and helping them thrive at home and school. Sessions provide practical strategies, tailored to each child’s unique needs. Families seeking guidance for learning differences or emotional support will find a dedicated partner in this work.

Approach

Guided by a commitment to each child's wellbeing, I shape sessions around clear, practical goals that matter to you. I offer appointments in English and Afrikaans in the Westrand and online, creating a relaxed, predictable space where questions are welcome. I use collaborative assessment, tailored strategies and short-term practical plans, reviewing progress and adapting between meetings so routines at home and school become easier to manage. This approach suits families and adolescents seeking straightforward, evidence‑informed support.
