What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities where I can deliver clinical psychology services—therapy, psychoeducation, and psychological assessments—while growing in a multidisciplinary team and continuously improving how I support individuals and families.

I am a proactive clinical psychology professional with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and I’m willing and capable in team environments. Through volunteering and experiential training, I’ve built strong interpersonal skills while delivering psychoeducation and therapy across individual, child, couple’s, family, and group formats.

In 2024, I served as an Intern Clinical Psychologist at Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital, where I offered individual therapy at Mohlakeng Clinic and Krugersdorp Central Clinic. I also supported forensic work as a case manager for court observands, contributing to determinations of fitness to stand trial and criminal capacity, while handling administration, scoring, and interpretation of psychological assessments. Alongside this, I facilitated process and psychoeducation groups at the Dual Diagnosis Unit and participated in clinical training activities such as case presentations, journal club, and transcript training, working throughout in a multidisciplinary team.
