Mrs Tanya van der Walt

Licensed Educational Psychologist

“A therapist passionate about assisting children, adolescents and adults navigating life's challenges.”

About Me

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I am passionate about guiding children, adolescents, and adults through life's unique challenges. I offer a warm, understanding space where we can explore feelings and develop practical ways to move forward. My collaborative approach helps individuals of all ages build confidence. Clients find clear paths through difficult times.

Approach

When we meet, conversation quickly turns to practical steps that feel manageable rather than overwhelming, so progress happens in small, steady ways. In my Randburg practice I work in Afrikaans and English, creating focused sessions that balance listening with hands-on strategies you can try between meetings. I draw on assessment, gentle exploration and targeted techniques to support learning differences, behaviour changes and emotional healing for children, teens and adults, pacing the work to each person’s needs. This approach suits those who want clear, collaborative support.
