I’m glad you’re here. My goal is helping children feel understood, parents feel supported, and families find practical ways to thrive — at school and at home.
About Me
Hello, I'm Courtney Thom
I’m an Educational Psychologist based in Johannesburg, and I believe every person — whether a child, teenager, or adult — has a story worth understanding. My work is about curiosity, connection, and finding practical ways to support growth and wellbeing.
Sometimes this means doing in-depth assessments to better understand how a child learns. Other times, it’s helping teens and adults navigate worries, changes, and resilience, or supporting parents and families to feel more connected and confident. I’ve worked in both schools and the NGO sector, supporting diverse needs such as learning difficulties, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and family stressors.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all answers. Instead, I collaborate with children, parents, and families to create support that is realistic, sustainable, and filled with hope.
