Summary

As a PVG-registered clinical assistant to Psychologist Dr. Andrew Perry and recent Psychology master's programme graduate, I have vast experience witnessing the subject in action and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have assisted in the treatment of both adults and adolescents and have attended both individual, one-on-one therapy sessions as well as group therapy sessions consisting of 4 or more individuals. This enabled me to observe group dynamics in a therapeutic context as well as implement individual approaches to treatment. Also, I have assisted in the development of AI models focused on improving treatment plan development for psychologists and signposting appropriate experts in the field for users struggling with various mental illnesses. Additionally, through research in both cognitive psychology and animal behaviour, I have grown adept at analysing data across a variety of disciplines.
