Mrs Melissa Ferreira
Educational Psychologist
“Melissa Ferreira has extensive experience providing private Mental Health Services to adults, teens & children”
About Me
I bring extensive experience as an Educational Psychologist, offering mental health services to children, teens, and adults. I aim to create a supportive space where we can explore challenges and make sense of your experiences. My approach helps individuals of all ages develop practical strategies for well-being. We’ll work collaboratively to understand unique needs and find clear ways forward, from school pressures to adult transitions.
Approach
I pace sessions to meet your needs, shifting between focused assessment and practical planning so we can identify steps that feel doable. In Cape Town I work in English and Afrikaans, offering clear feedback, written summaries and short tasks to try between appointments. I use structured, age-appropriate activities and targeted questions to make sense of learning, attention or emotional patterns while keeping discussions practical and solution-focused. This approach tends to suit families and adults seeking clear, stepwise change.
