Mr Morne Basson

Registered Counselor

Experienced and competent professional within the field of Educational Psychology. Registered Counselor.

About Me

Within the field of Educational Psychology, this professional guides children, young people, and their families through learning and developmental challenges. Sessions offer a practical space to understand unique strengths and explore effective strategies for home and school. Clients find support here to make sense of difficulties and build confidence. The focus is on clear, collaborative steps, helping individuals thrive.

Approach

I structure sessions around clear, achievable goals, using practical strategies and occasional structured assessments to clarify strengths and needs. In my Alberton practice I meet clients face-to-face, offering work in English or Afrikaans so explanations sit comfortably with families. Sessions move at a pace that suits children, adolescents and caregivers, with simple between-session tasks and school-focused recommendations to embed change. Those seeking steady, hands-on support to understand difficulties and build everyday confidence often find this way of working helpful.
