Miss Kerstin Holtzhausen
Psychometrist
“I am a Registered Psychometrist (Independent Practice) with experience in medico-legal report writing and a vast array of psychometric assessments.”
About Me
As a Registered Psychometrist, I help clarify complex cognitive and emotional profiles through comprehensive psychometric assessments. My expertise includes medico-legal report writing, offering clear insights for various situations. I aim to provide a thorough understanding of your unique strengths and challenges. Clients seeking precise, evidence-based evaluations for personal or legal clarity will find my approach supportive and informative.
Approach
Assessment findings guide every step, shaping clear, paced sessions that translate test results into practical, everyday recommendations. In my Johannesburg practice I work in Afrikaans and English, offering focused in-person sessions with thorough written feedback and collaborative goal-setting between meetings. Sessions feel structured but conversational: we review tasks together, track progress, and adapt next steps based on observed performance and lived concerns. Those seeking precise clarity and usable plans tend to find this way of working most helpful.
