Kirubakaran Harini

I am a dedicated therapy intern with a strong passion for supporting children and teenagers with special needs. With prior experience as a behavioural therapist, I have worked closely with neurodivergent individuals—including those with ASD, ADHD, and learning differences—using evidence-based strategies to build communication, emotional regulation, and functional skills. I strive to create a safe, affirming, and strengths-focused environment where each child feels understood and empowered. As part of my continuing growth, I am exploring and developing competencies in trauma-informed care, strength-based therapy, and stress-management approaches. I am committed to expanding my therapeutic toolkit to better understand the diverse needs of young clients and to provide holistic, compassionate support. My skills include behaviour intervention planning, data-driven progress tracking, social-skills coaching, emotional-regulation support, parent collaboration, and implementing structured routines. I also bring patience, adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and strong rapport-building abilities—qualities that help me connect meaningfully with young clients and their families. With a genuine interest in learning and a client-centred mindset, I aim to contribute positively to the therapeutic process while continually developing as a mental-health practitioner.
