Growth

Resilience

Adaptability

My name is Dr Tegan van der Westhuizen and I am an Educational Psychologist based in Bryanston, Sandton. I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents and young adults find their voices and be the best possible version of themselves. I believe that with the appropriate support and intervention every child can achieve something incredible, and overcome and adapt to any situation. I believe that with specific and individualised support every child can develop resilience and actualise their full potential.
