What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote opportunities where behavioural insight, research rigour, and communication expertise intersect—supporting qualitative research, content analysis, reporting, and child/adolescent-focused intervention work.

I’m a psychologist and researcher with experience spanning qualitative research, brand strategy, and child–adolescent intervention. I’ve worked across academic, NGO, and corporate environments, bringing both research rigour and clear communication to every project.

As a Trainee Therapist (Child-Centred Play Therapy), I provide individual therapy to children under clinical supervision while applying child-centred play therapy approaches and documenting session progress. I also support qualitative research through transcription, moderation, MAXQDA/SPSS analysis, and content analysis—while contributing to stakeholder-focused brand content and premium partner communications.
