What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to further develop my skills in mental health education and counselling, ideally in a supportive environment that values collaboration and professional growth.

I am a compassionate and results-driven Counselling Psychologist with a solid academic foundation and hands-on experience across clinical, educational, and organizational settings. My expertise lies in psychometric assessments and evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and SFBT, which I utilize to provide mental health counselling for both adolescents and adults.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to design and lead psychoeducational workshops, create impactful educational content, and deliver individual and group counselling. I have successfully addressed emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges with empathy and clinical precision, impacting the lives of over 300 students, teachers, and parents through workshops and outreach initiatives.
