Hey there! 👋🏻 I’m Helly, an international student from India 🇮🇳, currently pursuing my MSc in Psychology at the University of Essex. With a solid background in mental health support and a passion for helping others, I’m on a journey to becoming a qualified counselling psychologist 👩⚕️. I love how my course blends theory with practical experience, allowing me to create meaningful impacts. When I’m not studying, you’ll find me dancing 💃🏻, experimenting in the kitchen 🍳, binge-reading my favorite books 📚, or listening to music 🎶 (everything from soothing melodies to catchy beats). Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat about uni life, my course, or just want some friendly advice. Can’t wait to connect with you! 🥰✨

Law with American Studies (with a study abroad year) LLB (Hons)
Hi! I'm Holly, a first-year studying Law with American Studies, and I'm happy to answer your questions :) I previously did law at A-level where I found a real passion for the subject and decided to study it at University, which so far has been great as I've met some brilliant people who share my interest for the subject, but have also made great friends elsewhere, such as in my flat! My course also allows me to do a study abroad year which I am very excited about. I aspire to be a law professor or go into practice as a solicitor, but I am still not 100% sure!

BSc Psychology (including a Foundation Year)
Hi I'm Holly, I chose to study psychology as after studying it for GCSE and A-Level and falling in love with the subject, I genuinely couldn't imagine studying anything else!!
I chose Chester as it was the first open day I went to and no where else compared so I knew it was the place for me :)
The foundation year wasn't my original plan, but it definitely is not something to worry about. I am not too sure what I want to do when I complete the course I think I'll just take advantage of whatever opportunities I find along the way.

I study politics and am the a tutor for the Student Experience Team here in the College of Social Sciences. I really enjoy exploring all that Glasgow has to offer at the weekend. I was originally quite worried about coming to university in such a big city, but I absolutely love it here! I'm always open for questions. :)

University of Plymouth
BA (Hons) Social Work (Full-time)
I am aware starting your university journey may seem daunting and perhaps lonely. Myself, having had moved to Plymouth from London can understand some of the concerns or fears around university life but hopefully my experience can ease some of your anxiety :)
I'm in my 1st year of social work and so far it's been an interesting learning experience! My placements have been very insightful and inspiring for my journey in social work, at this moment my interest is around working in children's services but im still enjoying exloring my placement with adults.
My previous studies being A-Level Psychology, Sociology and BTEC Health & Social Care has definetely contributed to my interest in this career path as I am intrigued in both sociological and psychological aspects of individuals with my favorites being around biopsychology and adverse childhood experiences.
The best thing about this degree is that it's extremely broad so there's an interest for everyone. for example, it covers subjects from the medical field, law, sociology, education and psychology which gives you unlimited opportunities to explore in the future and plenty of career choices!
