Summary

I recently completed a Master in Cognitive behavioural Psychotherapy after completing a postgraduate diploma in Psychology of Education at the University of Manchester, having already attained an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science. Pursuing a career in Psychotherapy is the path I am going on at the moment. I have a strong set of skills when it comes to communication, particularly in problem-solving, decisiveness and negotiation. These qualities are what led me to have responsibilities such as employee voice representative in NewLook, student representative during my undergraduate degree, and participation in Model United Nations events in various countries. Working with children in Nün academy as a teacher, as well as interning in ACT and counselling circle tutoring for almost a year, has given me the essential foundational skills needed to be able to continue pursuing my goal to become a Psychotherapist and to teach psychotherapy. I am looking to gain more experience as a Psychotherapist with children and adults as this is something I am greatly passionate about.
