What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute in educational, healthcare, or organizational environments where I can apply evidence-based psychological practice—assessment, psychoeducation, and supportive therapy—while using strong interpersonal skills to help individuals thrive.

I’m a Psychology postgraduate with hands-on experience in clinical, child, and rehabilitation psychology through diverse internships in mental health and community settings. I focus on psychological assessment, behavioral observation, case history taking, and report writing to support well-being with evidence-based practice.

In my clinical psychology internship at Govt. Mental health centre, Trivandrum, I conducted case history and MSE, administered psychological assessments, and supported case discussions. I also provided psychoeducation, Motivational enhancement therapy, and group therapy as part of proper intervention.

My child psychology internship at CRC Kozhikode strengthened my assessment and early intervention work, where I used tools like BKT, VSMS, DST, and MISIC and assisted with group therapy. I also contributed to disability care through outreach at Thanal daya rehabilitation trust (Calicut), maintained thorough documentation, and compiled annual reports; alongside that, I’m conducting quantitative dissertation research on childhood emotional neglect and adult attachment styles and rejection sensitivity among young adults.
