Miss Suzan Matlebjane

Licensed Educational Psychologist

“I am a competent Educational psychologist working with different age groups. I am competent in completing psycho-educational, school readiness, career and subject-choice assessments. My approach is Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) integrating a variety of evidence-based psychological techniques such as CBT.”

About Me

I help individuals of all ages understand their unique strengths and potential. Through psycho-educational, school readiness, and career assessments, I offer clear insights. My approach, rooted in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), helps us quickly identify practical steps forward. We integrate techniques like CBT to build on your existing capabilities. This helps you navigate challenges and achieve your goals with confidence.

Approach

To turn insights into clear steps, I move quickly from assessment to short, practical goals we track each session. In Randburg or online, in English, Sesotho sa Leboa or seTswana, I offer a calm, structured space where sessions are focused, time-limited and collaborative. We use targeted strategies—brief CBT-informed experiments, tailored learning supports and gentle processing for loss or trauma—plus simple between-session tasks to build momentum. This way of working often suits people of all ages navigating transitions, learning challenges or emotional setbacks.
