Solomon Psychometry | Chelsea Solomon

About the Practitioner

I am a psychometrist in independent practice based in Johannesburg, originally from the Eastern Cape—which means a part of me is always missing the ocean.

My journey began at a young age, seeing classmates struggle in school without the support they needed. That awareness shaped my commitment to making psychological assessments more accessible, meaningful, and empowering.

Whether guiding children toward the right educational environment or helping adults explore aligned career paths, I strive to help individuals understand themselves better.
