Why is wellbeing important?
Wellbeing is thought of as a combination of good mental and physical health - being able to manage and cope with negative stressors when they appear, whilst maintaining a positive sense of self and making a positive contribution to society. This is necessary for a person to flourish and reach their full potential.
What do you look forward to most with your work at HSR Psychology?
I look forward to gaining some insight into the world of psychology in action, instead of just learning theory in a classroom. I also look forward to developing my skill set in relation to working with kids with mental health and special education needs.
What fascinates you about children?
Children’s optimism and their ability to change and learn despite the circumstances fascinates me. I want to be able to help as many children as I can to reach a state of wellbeing in which they can flourish safely and happily.
