Hello, I’m Carika Young. I am a full time Psychology Educator with over 15 years’ experience in the education industry. During eleven of those years, I focused on developing individuals from previously disadvantaged communities, particularly those with disabilities.
Additionally, I’ve been actively involved in Higher Education for the past 5 years, working with people from diverse backgrounds.
I am an Educator, Assessor, Moderator, Training Developer, Psychometrist, Counsellor, Life Coach, Yoga Therapist, and and and (as I never stop studying 😊).
My passion in life is to educate the next generation of psychology professionals. I want to empower students who have reached a plateau in their academic journey. Many students find themselves at a crossroads, not sure what to do due to the absence of a master’s degree. My goal is to assist them in bridging the gap by providing practical therapy skills (STREPCO) and enabling them to register with organizations like CCSA or ASCHP.
Furthermore, I envision fostering a supportive community among these professionals in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), where mutual assistance and collaboration thrive. So, let’s join forces and empower you on your journey to becoming the counsellor you aspire to be. With the practical support you need, you’ll be well-equipped to make a positive impact in our communities.
