I am a psychotherapist looking for a part time career change in something that contrasts to my current career. During my MSc in psychotherapy and my  5 years work experience I have developed my skills in the following:

• Attention to detail
• Curiosity
• Problem solving
• Caseload Management
• An eagerness to learn, develop professionally
• In depth understanding of emotions, behaviours and core models that deal with these.
• Interpersonal skills
• Report writing
• Group work and presenting
• Self management and team working
• Safeguarding
• Critical thinking

I am hopeful that my skillset, motivation and eagerness to learn will open up new opportunities for me in the world of data science/analyses.
