Dr Marthé-Marie Pienaar

Educational Psychologist

“Experienced psychologist specialising in assessments: Griffiths (0-6years, psycho-educational, accommodation and medico-legal assessments.”

About Me

Understanding learning or developmental needs can feel overwhelming. As an experienced Educational Psychologist, I offer clarity through specialised assessments. These include Griffiths (ages 0-6), psycho-educational, accommodation, and medico-legal evaluations. I aim to provide deep insights, helping families and adults understand unique profiles and access the right support. We then translate findings into practical steps for a clearer path forward.

Approach

Assessment shapes a paced, collaborative journey where observation, play-based tasks and targeted discussion guide each step. Sessions are held in Pretoria, offered in Afrikaans and English, with an in-person focus that gently balances direct testing, caregiver input and time between visits for reflection. I use trauma-aware techniques alongside structured cognitive and emotional tasks to build practical strategies you can try at home and school, then refine together. This approach suits families and adolescents seeking clear, usable understanding and steady next steps.
