What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead patient-centered mental health programs—blending CBT, clinical hypnotherapy, and lifestyle medicine—with strong supervision, research-driven practice, and collaborative multidisciplinary care that measurably improves outcomes.

I’m an exceptionally credentialed Senior Clinical Psychologist and a current PhD scholar, with over eight years of experience across premium medical settings, tertiary hospitals, and specialized digital healthcare platforms. I combine evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Clinical Hypnotherapy and Lifestyle Medicine to support comprehensive patient recovery.

I’m skilled in complex adult psychopathologies, trauma processing, crisis interventions, behavioral medicine, and diagnostic psychometrics. I prioritize accurate assessment and diagnostic clarity using DSM-5 differential diagnosis, multi-axial patient profiling, and structured objective psychometrics, including for high-risk presentations.

I also bring leadership and growth-oriented practice—through clinical supervision, educational management, academic research design, and collaborative panel work to improve patient-centered care. As a Managing Director and Consultant Clinical Psychologist, I build clinical curricula, training modules, recruitment frameworks, and evidence-led intervention improvements for outpatient care.
