What I'm looking for

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

I am Gabisile Rose Mathibela, a dedicated and aspiring clinical psychologist currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at the University of Limpopo. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in various psychological disciplines, including psychopathology, advanced psychometrics, and community psychology. I have actively engaged in research and practical applications of psychological theories, which has deepened my understanding of mental health issues.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience as a Social Media Content Creator for The Couch, a private psychology practice. Here, I advocated for mental health awareness and destigmatization by creating psychoeducational content. My volunteer work at Sikhululekile High School further honed my skills in providing emotional support and guidance to learners, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being in academic settings.
