SPECIALIST CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST JOHANNESBURG

Educational psychology refers to the study of human learning, learning processes, instructional methods and individual differences in learning. The goal in educational psychology is to understand how people learn and retain new information.

At Mizu Therapy & Assessment, our certified educational child psychologist Johannesburg, Riza van der Merwe, excels in helping individuals to learn concepts in a simplified manner while having fun. The consistent aim is to understand the learning methods of children, students, teenagers in different settings – schools, universities or workshops – and then develop successful, better methods of sharing knowledge or instructions. Our educational practice’s primary focus is to help individuals learn concepts not only in a simplified manner but also in a non-threatening interactive way.

To achieve optimal results, we include the social, emotional, and cognitive processes involved in an individual’s lifespan and combine a number of educational psychology disciplines, including:

* Developmental psychology (how and why we change as human beings);

* Behavioural psychology (how and why we behave the way we do) and;

* Cognitive psychology (perception, thinking, memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and learning).

EDUCATIONAL CHILD PSYCHOLOGY THERAPIES

Psychotherapy helps you learn about your feelings, moods, thoughts and behaviours. An important part of therapy is self-awareness, which helps you become more aware of different aspects of yourself (characteristics, behaviours and feelings) and may lead to changes in how you feel, think and behave. It has a long-term goal of relieving emotional distress. All Educational therapy is done with the strictest confidentiality.

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS

Educational Psychological Assessments are done for various reasons. It can be done to establish a person’s abilities, strong points and areas of concern, and to then make decisions about how to support this person to fulfil his/her potential, whether scholastic, career-wise, emotional or social. It can also be done to make a diagnosis in order to help a person get concessions or to advise the court with regards to a person’s emotional or neurological state.
