Lisa Jane Fowler – Educational Psychologist in Westville

About Me

I am Lisa Jane Fowler, an Educational Psychologist based in Westville. I am a single parent of two teenage boys, which has given me a unique perspective on family dynamics, human development, and the power of relationships. Parenting is a deeply rewarding experience that offers countless opportunities for personal growth, and it has shaped my professional path as well.

My interest in understanding people, their development, and the factors that shape their behaviour has been a lifelong pursuit. I am fascinated by how individuals learn, adapt, and grow, and I’ve always been drawn to helping others, particularly children. My passion for education extends beyond academics; it includes fostering skills that enable individuals to thrive in all aspects of life.

With 12 years of experience as a foundation phase educator, I eventually transitioned into educational psychology, where I could better support children, parents, and families in a variety of contexts. I have a strong belief in the power of education to optimise development and help individuals become their best selves.

Services

I offer a comprehensive range of services designed to support children, families, and individuals, focusing on promoting growth, development, and well-being:

Psycho-educational Assessments

I conduct thorough psycho-educational assessments to evaluate children’s cognitive and academic abilities. These assessments can help identify learning disabilities, developmental delays, or areas where a child may need additional support in school or at home.

Developmental Screening and Assessments

Through developmental screenings, I assess various aspects of a child’s growth, including physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. This helps determine if there are any concerns that might require intervention or further evaluation.

Emotional Assessments

Emotional assessments focus on understanding how a child or adolescent manages emotions and handles stress. These assessments help to identify any emotional struggles, such as anxiety, depression, or behavioural challenges, and provide insights into effective interventions.

Career Guidance Assessments

I offer career guidance assessments to help students explore their interests, strengths, and values to make informed decisions about their future educational and career paths. These assessments support personal growth and provide direction for making career choices.

Counselling and Therapy

I provide individual counselling and therapy services to help children, adolescents, and families address various emotional and behavioural concerns. These therapeutic services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual, promoting healing and personal growth.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is an effective tool for helping younger children express their feelings and resolve emotional issues through play. This therapy creates a safe environment for children to work through their emotions and improve their coping skills.

Medico-legal Assessments

I offer medico-legal assessments for cases requiring expert opinion regarding educational or psychological issues, including those related to personal injury, trauma, or disability.

Lecturing and Learning Support

I provide lecturing and learning support to help students who are struggling academically. This service is aimed at addressing specific learning challenges and providing additional guidance to promote academic success.

Talks and Workshops

I also offer talks and workshops for teachers, students, and parents. These sessions focus on topics such as emotional well-being, effective learning strategies, and how to support children’s development at home and in the classroom.
