Clinical Psychology

My Journey

My pursuit of a Master's in Clinical Psychology was fueled by the desire to support learners beyond academic growth —addressing emotional, behavioural, and psychological challenges to empower them holistically. 

Throughout my experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of learners—each with unique abilities, learning styles, intelligences, and challenges, including learning disabilities and giftedness. My passion lies in helping children learn more effectively and supporting individuals in achieving better mental health.
