Ms Zaheera Seedat

Educational Psychologist

“I am a passionate Educational Psychologist who loves working predominantly with children and families.”

About Me

I am a passionate Educational Psychologist, dedicated to supporting children and their families. My focus is helping young people navigate learning, developmental, and emotional challenges. I create a collaborative space where children can explore their feelings freely. Families gain practical strategies to understand their child’s unique needs. We work together, building confidence and fostering a brighter future for every family.

Approach

Together we map each child’s strengths into small, manageable steps, using play, gentle assessment and clear feedback so families leave with practical ideas they can try between sessions. In Randburg or online in English, sessions are calm and paced to match a child’s rhythm — sometimes playful, sometimes reflective — with parents involved as collaborators rather than bystanders. I use simple observation, short tasks and regular check-ins to track progress and adapt plans. This approach tends to suit caregivers who want practical, hopeful support and clear next steps.
