Melanie Govender Email & Phone Number

I am an ecologically minded, trauma-informed practitioner with a strong background in developmental and educational psychology. I am passionate about improving the life outcomes of tamariki, rangatahi and their whānau by nurturing their psychological, emotional and social wellbeing. I have 5 years of experience completing culturally safe psychological assessments in different educational environments to gain an understanding of the developmental, behavioural, and educational challenges of tamariki (ages 3 – 16 years old), as well as providing evidence-based intervention across home and school environments. I am also skilled in working alongside tamariki and whānau who have been impacted by trauma or who have experienced disrupted attachment in early childhood.Advocacy for Intern psychologists: https://apex.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/K-DT-Determination-6-April-2023.pdf
