Mrs Simona Maraschin
Educational Psychologist
“I am an educational psychologist who specialises in both therapeutic intervention and psych-educational assessments.”
About Me
As an educational psychologist, I help individuals understand their unique learning profiles and emotional needs. Through psych-educational assessments, I uncover strengths and challenges, providing clear insights. This understanding then guides our therapeutic work, developing practical strategies for wellbeing and academic progress. My aim is to foster confidence and empower learners to thrive by addressing barriers effectively.
Approach
Assessment findings translate into practical steps during our sessions: we move at a steady, paced rhythm that balances clear tasks with space to reflect. In Cape Town, English sessions focus on hands-on strategies—short activities, play or discussion for younger clients, and goal-linked tasks for adolescents—so learning and emotion are addressed together. Between meetings I suggest small experiments to try at home or school, which we review and adapt. This approach suits families and young people seeking grounded, evidence-informed support.
