Academic background
With a keen interest in clinical psychology and psychological research, Celine is committed to building a career in this field upon completion of her studies.
Her academic journey is driven by a deep interest in clinical psychology, particularly in understanding emotional processes, therapeutic change, and the intersection of research and psychotherapy. She is especially interested in conducting clinical research focused on families and family therapy, exploring relational dynamics and their impact on mental health. Her previous research experience focused on understanding the experiences of amputees’ caregivers in post-war contexts and how these experiences impact both caregivers and patients psychologically.
She is drawn to evidence-based approaches that combine the relational depth of therapy with structured methodologies.
Celine plans to continue her training in clinical psychology after completing her undergraduate degree, with the goal of contributing to both scientific research and therapeutic practice.
She is passionate about exploring how clinical interventions can lead to meaningful change, and how research can help improve therapeutic outcomes.
