Purpose. Passion. Progress. These are the three pillars that drive my work.As an aspiring psychologist dedicated to the growth and well-being of children and adolescents, I am eager to leverage my academic foundation in psychology within clinical, counseling and developmental psychology. My passion lies in exploring the complexities of family dynamics and their impact on cognitive and socio-emotional development, whether it is through clinical settings or my independant research projects. Some examples include:-Led over 75 sessions with clients from diverse backgrounds through two international organizations, Overcome (UK) and TMHT (Netherlands), enhancing their mental health support.-Contributed to 10 impactful projects alongside researchers at Queen's University Belfast and the University of Greenwich, fostering innovative approaches in psychology.-Completed 6 independent projects that culminated in 2 peer-reviewed publications, underscoring my commitment to advancing psychological research.I am also an avid reader and writer with a penchant for delving into complex topics and engaging in thought-provoking discussions. I get excited about opportunities where I can continuously learn and am seeking avenues to apply my enthusiasm, empathy, and analytical skills in creating a positive and transformative difference in the lives of others. I love connecting with new people, so feel free to reach out to me at: maarab.zaheer@gmail.com.
