Miss Tarryn Kelmovitz

Licensed Educational Psychologist

“A compassionate Educational Psychologist focused on collaborating with the client in meeting therapeutic goals.”

About Me

I offer a compassionate space as a Licensed Educational Psychologist, where your unique needs are truly heard. My approach centres on collaboration, inviting you to be an active partner in setting and achieving therapeutic goals. We work together to navigate learning difficulties, emotional hurdles, or developmental concerns. This supportive partnership helps individuals find confidence and practical ways forward. Those seeking a collaborative, client-led journey will find a good match here.

Approach

Sessions unfold with practical, paced steps that honour your experience while keeping clear, achievable goals in view. I work from my Benoni practice and through secure online sessions, arranging timing and brief between-session tasks to fit school and family rhythms. Assessment guides gentle, hands-on experiments—play-based tasks with young children, structured reflections with teens, and focused coaching for parents—to build skills and ease transitions. This approach tends to suit families and young people seeking practical, partnered ways to manage learning, behaviour or anxiety challenges.
