Mrs Elizabeth Bezuidenhout

Educational Psychologist

“I assist in treating learning disabilities or mental health issues. I offer assistance to parents, children and teachers. Psychometric tests may be administered. I am fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans. My vision is professional services of a high standard in line with national best practice standards.”

About Me

I support children, parents, and teachers in understanding and addressing learning disabilities or mental health concerns. We can clarify challenges together, using assessments like psychometric tests to gain insights into unique profiles. My goal is to offer practical, high-standard guidance. This helps families find effective strategies for well-being and growth. Being fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans ensures clear communication for everyone.

Approach

Support often begins with clear, practical steps to clarify a child’s learning profile and family priorities, then moves into focused planning with parents and teachers. Sessions in Roodepoort or online are held in English or Afrikaans, paced to suit concentration spans and school timetables. I use targeted assessments, short practical tasks and collaborative goal-setting; between meetings I share simple strategies schools and caregivers can try. This way of working tends to help families seeking straightforward, evidence-aligned steps for attention, behaviour, anxiety or learning concerns.
