Summary

My interest lies in bringing about awareness of mental health. Having worked as a Psychologist, exploring the benefits of Counselling and therapy with clients, I now am keen on exploring other aspects of mental health, that is more involved in society and it's development. I have worked with adults and adolescents in matters of stress, family issues, interpersonal challenges, self- harm and suicide. I am a quick and efficient learner. I love engaging with people and bringing together their different perspectives while leading groups.
