What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my clinical skills in a supportive environment, where I can contribute to mental health initiatives and continue my professional development.

I am a dedicated and resourceful individual currently pursuing my M. Phil in Counselling Psychology at the University of Ghana. My journey in psychology has been marked by a commitment to enhancing my skills and experiences, particularly in clinical settings. I have gained valuable insights through various practicums, including providing psychotherapy and psychological interventions at LEKMA Hospital and New Horizon Special School.

My professional experience extends to administrative roles, where I served as a Senior EAP Executive at Supreme Healthcare Management Services. Here, I honed my skills in report writing, crisis support, and first aid psychological services. I am passionate about mental health outreach and have actively engaged in community initiatives to promote psychological well-being.

With a strong foundation in both psychology and theatre arts, I bring a unique perspective to my work. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic team that values initiative and fosters professional growth, as I continue to develop my expertise in clinical psychology.
