Bina Valakuzhy
BA-Psych, M HRM
Behaviour Support Practitioner
With a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and a master’s degree in human resource management, Bina’s passion for people began from a very young age, and at just 10 years old, she knew that her life’s calling was to become a psychologist. She holds particular interest in criminal psychology and working with people in the justice system. The many years of working with people from different walks of life, and most recently, being in training and education has provided her with an in-depth understanding of human behaviour. A highly intuitive person who believes that kindness is a superpower, she is also currently pursuing a diploma in counselling to further hone her skills and create lasting connections with everyone she meets.
