Murray Liptrot
@murrayliptrot
Aspiring clinical psychologist with a focus on mental health support.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated student currently pursuing my MSc in Psychology, with a strong aspiration to advance my career towards a PsyD. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in psychological research, literature reviews, and data analysis, which I am eager to apply in practical settings to enhance mental health support and clinical practices.
Throughout my professional experiences, I have actively engaged in various roles that have honed my skills in counseling and mental health coordination. As a Child Welfare Volunteer at Open Arms, I facilitated English language learning and fostered cross-cultural communication, which allowed me to collaborate effectively with a diverse team. My practicum at Integrated Counseling Services provided me with invaluable insights into case conceptualization and therapeutic competencies, while my role as a Mental Health Coordinator at Light In-U International Counselling deepened my understanding of culturally responsive care.
