I’ve been working as a school psychologist, supporting students from ages 3 to 18. Working in international schools has given me the chance to connect with children and teenagers from many different backgrounds and help them through a wide range of challenges. I’ve supported students dealing with anxiety, social and emotional struggles, low self-esteem, family changes, and adjustment to new environments. In my sessions, I use approaches that fit each student’s age and needs such as play-based therapy with younger children, and cognitive-behavioral techniques or emotional regulation tools with older students. I also run small group sessions that focus on building social skills, problem-solving, and managing emotions. Beyond one-on-one support, I work closely with teachers and parents to better understand each child’s situation and create strategies that help them succeed both emotionally and academically. What I love most about this work is watching students grow more confident, resilient, and comfortable in who they are.
