What is an Educational Psychologist?
An educational psychologist is a highly trained professional who specialises in understanding how children and adolescents learn, process information, and develop cognitively, emotionally, and socially within educational settings. Their key focus areas are:
Learning and development
Assessment and diagnosis
Intervention and support strategies
Emotional and social development
Teacher and parent collaboration
Educational psychologists play a crucial role in shaping effective educational environments. Their work ensures that children receive the support they require to reach their full potential.


About Me
Amber Samanther Pinho
I am a dedicated and professional educational psychologist with over 7 years of experience working with children in a variety of educational and therapeutic contexts. I have a passion for the topic of resilience and aim to promote resilience in the lives of little people and the systems around them. My approach is very holistic and systematic and I do not look at children in isolation but instead as unique beings within unique systems. No two children that walk into my practice are the same. As a therapist my interests lie in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, narrative and solution-focused approaches. I specifically enjoy using art and sand tray strategies. I look forward to working with you and your child in the future. Please click on the tab below for more information about me.
