I am a mental health professional with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, currently engaged in child and adolescent focused psychological work across school and clinical settings. My training and professional experience have provided me with a strong foundation in assessment, counselling, and emotional skill development, while shaping a compassionate, ethical, and client-centred approach to mental health care. At present, I work in a school setting where I conduct individual counselling sessions, emotional and behavioural screening, classroom-based social and emotional learning interventions, and structured observations. This role has strengthened my ability to build rapport with children and adolescents, identify emotional and behavioural patterns, and tailor support strategies based on individual needs. I also regularly interact with parents and caregivers, helping them understand concerns in a sensitive and collaborative manner and offering practical guidance for support at home. In addition to school based work, I have gained experience in child development and assessment focused roles. I contributed to a gamified cognitive screening project at an educational technology organisation, where I worked on observing cognitive and emotional response patterns in children and understanding developmental strengths and concerns through structured tools. I have also worked in a child development centre, which provided exposure to counselling, behavioural observations, and real world case discussions. These experiences enhanced my ability to differentiate between developmental concerns, emotional difficulties, and situational stressors, and to integrate assessment insights into therapeutic planning. My clinical interests include emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, behavioural challenges, and adjustment-related issues. I draw from cognitive, emotional, and supportive therapeutic techniques, and I place strong emphasis on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard and respected. I am committed to maintaining confidentiality, professional boundaries, and ethical standards while adapting interventions effectively to the virtual format. I approach my work with empathy, curiosity, and a strong motivation to learn, reflect, and grow as a mental health professional while offering responsible and meaningful support to clients.
