Klara Bostock
Summary
I am currently completing a Master's degree in Psychology at the University of Liverpool, with a strong interest in educational psychology, children's well-being and mental health. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Media and Communications and a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills, alongside practical experience in high-responsibility and people-focused roles. My experience as a lifeguard and within Nuffield Health has developed my skills in risk awareness, safeguarding, and working calmly under pressure, all while being trained as a first responder. Additionally, I have undertaken work experience with a dog psychologist, which has provided insight into behavioural practice. I am seeking a postgraduate role where I can apply my academic knowledge and experiences and develop my professional experience within psychology and mental health.
