Mrs Sumen Reddy

Educational Psychologist

“Hi, I’m Sumen Reddy.I am an Educational Psychologist, and I practice in Edenvale. I am an Ego State therapy therapist and clinical Hypnotherapy therapist. I have a special interest in grief, trauma, anxiety and depression. Psycho-educational assessments/concessions also conducted.”

About Me

As an Educational Psychologist, I help individuals in Edenvale navigate challenges like grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Using approaches such as Ego State therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy, I provide a space to explore feelings and build resilience. I also conduct psycho-educational assessments, offering clarity and support for learning needs. My aim is to help you understand yourself better and find practical ways forward.

Approach

My sessions move between gentle enquiry and experiential steps that invite parts of you to be heard and reorganised. Based in Edenvale, with English sessions online or in person across Johannesburg, I pace work to your comfort and check in on how you respond each week. I guide brief stabilisation, gentle trance to access inner resources, structured dialogues with inner parts and creative tasks between sessions to anchor new patterns. Those coping with grief, trauma, anxiety or learning questions often find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
