Melissa Lister

Self-determined, mature student with a strong academic record and substantial professional and life experience, committed to lifelong learning, and to integrating both nomothetic and idiographic approaches to evidence-based, client-centered care as a Clinical Psychologist. Years of experience in talent acquisition, coaching, and team leadership have made me adept at communicating with people from all walks of life, enhancing synergy, and helping people achieve their best. I excel at exercising critical judgment to develop innovative solutions. Drawing on a wealth of failures, lessons, and achievements, and guided by curiosity, humility, and empathy, I connect with others in ways that remind them they are never alone in their struggles.

You had the courage to ask questions and seek clarification and I noticed that often you normalised the confusion and uncertainty and put others at ease, which makes the class a lot more easy-going and enjoyable for all! Thank you!
