Welcome to Psychreflections

Hello & Thank you for visiting my site!

Through this journey into Psychology, I have picked up a few lessons or two that thought to share. The journey can be very discouraging and incredibly difficult, but I hope by sharing ideas and lessons learnt, I can make it a more bearable ride for at least on person out there.

My name is Noreen Dera, the founder of psychreflections: here I will share my reflections of my journey into clinical psychology as a young, black female. I am currently training to become a mental health practitioner. The eureka of this blog was inspired by the dearth of information on psychology within BME communities. I want to promote psychology because I am truly passionate about mental wellness, especially in marginalised and hard to reach communities. By softening the language and demythologising the subject, I believe there will greater scope for engagement.

Please stay tuned.

What to expect;

-Reflection pieces

-Interviews with students and professsional

-Getting psyched up and staying well pieces

-Pictures and testimonials from conferences and events.
