I’m Storm van der Walt, a registered Educational Psychologist based in Alberton. I completed all my studies at the University of Johannesburg — my BA Psychology, BA (Hons), PGCE, and MEd Educational Psychology — and haven’t looked back since.

My career has taken me from my internship at UJ’s PsyCaD, to a remedial school, to private practice, and eventually to opening my own practice in 2022. Along the way I’ve worked with children facing all kinds of learning, developmental and emotional challenges — and I’ve loved every minute of it.

I take a child-centred, holistic approach and I’m always looking for new and creative ways to connect with the children I work with. I use play therapy, expressive arts, puppets, sand tray, role modelling and movement-based activities — whatever works best for that particular child.
