Dr Sonja Gildenhuys
Educational Psychologist
“An experienced educational psychologist working with children, adolescents as well as adults.”
About Me
As an experienced educational psychologist, I guide children, adolescents, and adults through learning challenges and developmental differences. I help you understand your unique strengths and navigate obstacles, whether in school, work, or daily life. My approach offers practical strategies tailored to your needs, fostering confidence and a clearer path forward. We can collaboratively explore how to best support your learning and well-being.
Approach
My sessions focus on turning insights into manageable, practical steps you can use day to day. Whether in my Johannesburg consulting room or online, and in English or Afrikaans, I work at a steady, measured pace that balances conversation, guided activities and short, evidence-informed tasks between meetings. Assessment findings and what you notice at home or school shape clear, small goals we track together, with adaptations as needed. This way of working often suits children, teens, parents and adults seeking steady progress.
