What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in clinical psychology and counselling, focusing on mental health support and community outreach.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselling professional with experience in providing individual and group counselling services. Currently pursuing a Master's in Clinical Psychology and Counselling, I possess strong psychometrics and problem-solving skills that enable me to effectively support diverse groups. My leadership experience as the president of the University of Kisubi counsellor’s Association has further honed my ability to guide and inspire others.

Throughout my career, I have provided counselling services and consultancy since March 2022, where I have successfully conducted workshops and seminars focused on mental health and wellness. My pastoral ministry experience at Sacred Parish-Ediofe Cathedral allowed me to work closely with Christian communities, developing and implementing programs that address their needs. I am committed to fostering a supportive environment for individuals seeking guidance and support.
