What you should know about Sarah Myerscough, Educational Psychologist
My passion is to help people to live their lives to the full. Behavioral & other childhood difficulties (such as temper tantrums, bedwetting, school refusal, nightmares, separation anxiety, fighting, poor eating and sleeping patterns) If you are faced with a difficult life challenge, overwhelming feelings of sadness, anxiety or anger, unexpected illness, relationship problems, or are making a transition in your life and need some guidance, you may want to talk with a psychologist. A safe and compassionate environment filled with respect and empathy. Therapy is not a passive process; in order for it to be effective you, as the client, will need to be an active participant in the process both during and between sessions. However, undertaking therapy can be a difficult process as you work through the difficulties in your life. If at any stage you wish to stop therapy or take a break, it is highly recommended that a termination session is scheduled where we can review our work together. We would review our goals, the work we have done and any future work that may need to be done. Fees are charged per session and are within medical aid rates. This therapy practice is contracted out of medical aid therefore clients would need to claim themselves directly from their medical aids. Therapy is ultimately about the relationship between the client and the therapist. This needs to be strong, open, supportive, comfortable and, for the client, a relationship that they trust. During the first few sessions, we will both be feeling out if this relationship is going to work. Parental guidance, where together we will think through and work on strategies to help your child which you will implement at home. Family therapy where the whole family comes in for therapy to discuss the difficulties taking place at home. Psychoeducational assessments measure a child's cognitive and academic strengths and limitations. They also include an emotional assessment of the child. A psychoeducational assessment can help identify attention, concentration or memory difficulties, learning problems, behavioural and emotional problems, delayed intellectual development or an uneven development of skills. A parent intake session where a full history of the child's development, schooling, family and other relationships will be explored. These sessions will take place with the child and the therapist and usually take place in the morning when the child will perform at their best. The child will participate in a variety of activities and tests. The child generally enjoys these assessment times as the therapist makes them as fun and engaging as possible to get the best possible performance from the child. A second parent session is scheduled with the therapist where the findings and recommendations are presented and together the parents and therapist think through the next steps to assist the child.
