What Matilda loves about working in mental health

“My passion lies in making a positive difference in the lives of others. I view my job as a huge privilege because I get to create a space where people feel safe and can share their innermost feelings. I hope to achieve this by helping my clients manage their psychological concerns through a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities. Working in this field allows me to live my life mantra every day: Vulnerability fosters connection.”
