Miss Sihle Fodo

Educational Psychologist

“I am dedicated to supporting the holistic development and well-being of children and adolescents by identifying and addressing barriers to learning, emotional growth, and social functioning. I provide comprehensive psycho-educational assessments, therapeutic interventions, and consultative services.”

About Me

I am an Educational Psychologist in Belgravia, Western Cape, South Africa. I provide diagnostic assessments for children and adolescents, including ADHD and autism. I offer psychoeducation, stress management, and practical strategies to help you manage anger and improve relationships.

Approach

Supporting holistic growth, I blend careful assessment with hands-on, stepwise work that helps young people and caregivers make sense of struggles at school and at home. Sessions in my Belgravia practice — and via secure online meetings in English or isiXhosa — move at a practical pace: we set clear aims, try structured strategies during the hour, and track small changes rather than chasing big leaps. Between meetings I offer bite-sized guidance, simple tracking tools and targeted psychoeducation so skills generalise into daily routines. This approach suits adolescents and caregivers seeking clear, collaborative steps they can try and adapt.
