ADK Psychology

Resilience is the ability that empowers children to bounce back from adversity, navigate life’s challenges, and thrive despite difficult times and setbacks. It is a skill that can be grown from facing and overcoming obstacles. This teaches children to adapt, persevere and flourish in the face of difficult times and situations. Resilience is a skill that should be taught, not shielding them from hardship, but rather empowering them with the tools to confront and conquer whatever life sends their way. 🌱💪

With the holiday in full swing, it allows us the opportunity to rest, evaluate and reset. Academics on any level can be daunting, and following a few simple tips can allow us to manage our workload and anxiety!

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to introduce myself to the community. I'm Albert Keet, the educational psychologist at ADK Psychology.

My journey began with a Bachelor's in Science and a PGCE degree, leading me to teach at Jan van Riebeeck High School, nestled at the foot of Table Mountain. Teaching and coaching sports like rugby ignited a passion within me for working with people, especially children. It revealed the crucial role introspection and self-reflection play in individual development and success.

This passion led me to pursue an Honours in Psychology and a part-time Masters in Educational Psychology, marking the transition from teaching to an internship at Good Hope Psychological Services, a NPO based in Stellenbosch. The experience, though challenging, shaped my values and reaffirmed my mission to positively impact lives.

Now, based in Table View, I bring a diverse therapeutic approach to ADK Psychology, including solution-focused, person-centered, narrative, art, and play therapy. I'm trained in techniques like BWRT (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy) to assist with trauma and anxiety. Additionally, I specialize in psychoeducational assessments, aiming to provide insights and support individuals in overcoming challenges.

At ADK Psychology, we believe in a balanced approach to learning and growth. I'm committed to helping clients leverage their strengths while showing compassion for their weaknesses. By embracing both, we create an environment where everyone can flourish and reach their full potential.

BENEFITS OF RECESS AS A REGULATION TOOL FOR KIDS

Kids need recess as a regulation tool to help them sit still during class and to attend and focus for longer periods of time. Here's why...

Did you know that physical activity can be a key part of a child's learning style? 👀

For some kids, movement helps them to better process information and stay focused. Whether it's through playing sports, dancing, or simply fidgeting in their seat, physical activity can actually enhance their learning experience.

As parents and educators, it's important to recognise that every child is unique and may have different learning styles. By embracing physical activity as a tool for learning, we can help to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

So let's encourage our children to move and learn in their own way! 🤸‍♀️📚

A psychoeducational assessment evaluates cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioural functioning to identify learning or developmental issues and provide support recommendations.

📌 Individualised learning plan
📌 Develops relevant interventions
📌 Academic support & recommendations
📌 Provides academic and emotional support

It can be useful for individuals of all ages, from young children to adults, and can help inform educational, clinical, and vocational decisions.

Strengthen your child's emotional well-being with individual therapy at Dedri Hamman Educational Psychologist. Our compassionate therapists create a supportive environment where children can navigate their emotions and build resilience. Give your child the foundation they need to grow and reach their full potential.
