Blossoming Hearts Educational Psychologist Benoni provides caring and professional support for children and families through the work of Larise Kuhn.
Larise Kuhn works as an educational psychologist in Benoni and owns Blossoming Hearts. She completed her undergraduate BA degree and later her postgraduate studies, including BEd Psychology Honours and MEd, at the University of Pretoria. In addition, she first worked as a registered counsellor. This experience helped her build a strong foundation in understanding people and their needs.
Larise later developed a clear interest in assessments. She also focused on emotional and behavioural difficulties in children. As a result, she now supports children who struggle in these areas. She uses simple and practical methods to understand each child better. Then, she helps guide them step by step.
Furthermore, she believes every child has unique strengths. Therefore, she takes time to explore each child’s potential, temperament, and how they see themselves and others. This approach allows her to create a safe and supportive space.
Larise carefully assesses each child’s needs. She listens closely and observes how they respond in different situations. After that, she builds a clear picture of their challenges and strengths. This helps her plan the best support for them.
At the same time, she focuses on emotional well-being. She helps children understand their feelings. She also teaches them simple ways to manage emotions and behaviour. Because of this, children feel more confident and secure.
Larise is widely known as the “heart aunty.” She earned this name because she truly listens and cares. She aims to understand the hearts of everyone who walks through her doors. In other words, she creates a warm and welcoming environment.
Moreover, she builds strong connections with both children and parents. She communicates clearly and kindly at all times. This helps families feel supported throughout the process.
Psycho-education plays a key role in her work. She teaches both parents and children about thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. As a result, families gain better insight into challenges. They also learn how to respond in helpful ways.
In addition, she guides parents with practical tools they can use at home. This ensures that progress continues beyond sessions. Step by step, families grow stronger together.
Larise remains passionate about helping children grow. She continues to support each child’s journey with care and patience. Most importantly, she focuses on building confidence and understanding.
Because of her gentle and thoughtful approach, many families trust her support. She stays committed to helping every child feel heard, valued, and understood.
