Humera Kanwal
@humerakanwal
Psychology graduate and Clinical Support Practitioner focused on mental health support, patient safety, and evidence-based care.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Psychology graduate with a Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society, and I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health at London Metropolitan University. I bring NHS healthcare setting experience supporting people with diverse physical and mental health needs, grounded in evidence-based practice.
In my Clinical Support Practitioner role at British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), I built therapeutic rapport through strong communication, observation, and risk awareness. I focused on person-centred care, reassurance during periods of anxiety and distress, and patient safety while contributing to high-quality clinical care through multidisciplinary teamwork.
I also deepen my practice through volunteering and research: at Finchley Memorial Hospital I supported patients with dementia and mental health conditions in the Rehabilitation Ward, and as a Medical Research Volunteer I assisted psychological experiments and medical examinations, including learning about healthcare technology such as EEG. I’m passionate about mental health, psychological wellbeing, and turning insights from psychology into meaningful, respectful support.
