FAQ

Within professional psychology, educational psychology is a category that focuses on facilitating the emotional, social, academic, intellectual, learning, behavioural, and developmental challenges that children and adolescents are facing within the systems where they function, like their families, friends, school, etc. By doing this, educational psychologists offer extensive support and psychological services to any role-player who may support clients’ optimal functioning.

This may include family-based intervention, teacher support, and learning support. The educational psychologist can offer knowledge and skills about learning and developmental challenges across the lifetime of the specific individual.

An educational psychologist is involved with the learning and development of children and students. Many factors can have an impact on how children or students learn and develop, such as trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, difficult relationships, family discord, barriers to learning, etc. These concerns can be addressed through either therapy or assessment. 

Services rendered by Educational Psychologists are covered by most medical aids however, it remains the client’s responsibility to follow up with their medical aids, as all medical schemes offer different covers.

Each person’s process is unique, so each person’s therapeutic process will be different. The therapeutic process is not fixed and therefore can’t be limited to a specific time. Normally it takes a minimum of six weekly sessions. It can be more or less depending on the individual’s needs.
