Dedicated psychological practitioner with a passion for mental health.
What I'm looking for
I am a former educator now dedicated to a new career in psychological practice and research. My teaching experiences taught me the vital role of mental health in human achievement. I aim to alleviate suffering within the human mind through my passion for psychology.
Currently, I am training to become a psychosynthesis psychotherapist while working as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner. My experience includes providing support to children and adults facing mental health challenges, where I have honed my skills in active listening, critical thinking, and interpersonal communication.
With a strong academic background, including a distinction in my MSc in Psychology, I am committed to continuous professional development. I believe in a person-centred approach and am eager to contribute positively to the field of mental health.
