About

Hi I am Errin! I am an Educational Psychologist with a keen interest in career counselling as I believe we should persue careers that would provide us with a sense of meaning and purpose. I am also very passionate about childhood development, psychotherapy and learning support. As I believe each child should be able to reach their highest potential.
