Leo Kurien

I am a postgraduate psychology trainee with hands‑on experience supporting behavioural research and participant‑facing mental health work. I have practical skills in administering structured behavioural tasks, monitoring participant engagement, and recording responses accurately under standardised protocols. My experience includes managing live data collection sessions, setting up testing environments, troubleshooting equipment, and ensuring data quality throughout sessions. I have supported participant recruitment, scheduling, and consent procedures, strengthening my ability to communicate clearly, maintain ethical standards, and manage sensitive information responsibly. Through my befriending volunteer role, I have delivered structured one‑to‑one psychosocial support, monitored wellbeing indicators, and followed safeguarding and escalation procedures within supervised practice. My background as a peer educator has equipped me with experience in facilitating small‑group psychoeducational sessions, designing interactive activities, and assessing behavioural engagement through structured tasks. Across all roles, I prioritise accuracy, clear documentation, professional boundaries, and a calm, supportive presence in participant‑facing environments.
