Miss Nasreen Saloojee

Licensed Educational Psychologist

A dedicated and knowledgeable registered educational psychologist with experience working in pre-primary, primary, secondary as well as tertiary levels of education. I am committed to helping individuals and families through ongoing support, evaluation, and establishing trusting relationships.

About Me

Navigating educational challenges can feel overwhelming for individuals and families. As a registered educational psychologist, I support clients from pre-primary up to tertiary levels. My extensive experience allows me to offer comprehensive evaluations and ongoing support tailored to your unique needs. We’ll build a trusting relationship, ensuring a consistent and understanding space. This helps create clear pathways forward, whatever your learning journey.

Approach

Support and evaluation shape how we approach each session. In Sandton I offer in-person sessions and online consultations in English, creating a predictable, confidential space. Sessions move between focused assessment moments, play-based and skills-building interventions, and reflective planning, often paired with brief follow-up notes and practical tasks to try between meetings. This way of working suits parents, adolescents and young adults seeking steady, collaborative guidance.
