What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can provide compassionate support and promote mental well-being in a collaborative environment.

I am a self-motivated counselling graduate with a passion for helping others heal and find hope. My experience includes providing career coaching to secondary school students and emotional support to the elderly through various programs. I believe in the power of sharing personal stories to foster inclusion and diversity.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in trauma-informed care and mental health promotion, delivering wellness talks and participating in research projects. My educational background includes a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling and a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology, equipping me with the skills necessary to support individuals in their mental health journeys.

As I continue to grow in my career, I aim to create meaningful connections and provide compassionate support to those in need. I am committed to lifelong learning and professional development in the field of counselling.
