Patikai Linda

Educational Psychologist

I obtained an honours degree in I/O Psychology and registered as a Psychometrist. I worked in corporate as well as school/academic contexts conducting assessments and proﬁles for optimised functioning. I later pursued & completed a Masters degree in Educational psychology after my internship experience piqued my interest in early childhood and adolescent functioning. I am in the process of obtaining a certiﬁcation in psycho-social mediation for family law as well as a neurosequential model of therapeutics (NMT) practitioner registration.
