Ms Lesley King

Educational Psychologist

I am an Educational Psychologist offering assessments, therapy, preventative programs, parent guidance and talks/workshops for parents, children and teachers.

About Me

As an Educational Psychologist, I support children, parents, and teachers navigating their unique learning and developmental journeys. I offer tailored assessments and therapy, alongside preventative programs designed to build confidence in educational settings. My practical parent guidance helps families understand and respond to specific challenges. I also provide talks and workshops, fostering positive environments where every child can truly thrive.

Approach

Working alongside caregivers, teachers and young people, I focus on practical, step-by-step change that fits each child's school day and family rhythm. In sessions—in English, in Johannesburg or online—we set clear, achievable goals, use brief assessments to spotlight learning or attention patterns, and practise targeted strategies together so new skills generalise between home and classroom. I share straightforward explanations and short tasks to try between meetings, with regular check-ins to adjust the plan. This approach suits families seeking hands-on, results-focused support.
