Miss Simone Taylor

Licensed Educational Psychologist

I am an experienced, relatable, caring psychologist that has a passion and love for children, adolescents and parenting

About Me

As a caring and relatable psychologist, I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and their parents. I help families navigate developmental and educational challenges, fostering positive growth. My approach involves understanding each unique situation to build practical strategies together. Parents appreciate my guidance in creating a supportive home environment, ensuring young people feel understood and can thrive.

Approach

Together we turn worries about learning, behaviour or anxiety into small, practical steps so families can feel less stuck and more confident. In my Durban consulting room I use English, a calm pace and child-friendly activities to help younger clients settle while parents reflect on patterns and try new strategies between sessions. Assessment findings guide focused, collaborative goals and simple follow-through tools that fit school and home life. This way of working suits parents and young people who want clear, compassionate support to make steady progress.
