About

Msc Student

My name is Sophie Courtney, and I am a 33-year-old mother of three, currently living in a small town in North Devon.

My academic journey has been both unconventional and deeply rewarding, culminating in a BSc from the Open University. This experience has not only expanded my knowledge but has also ignited a profound interest in the field of forensic psychology.

Studying through the Open University has provided me with a unique educational experience, allowing me to balance the demands of parenthood while pursuing my academic goals.

This journey has been both challenging and fulfilling, demonstrating my commitment, resilience, and ability to manage multiple responsibilities effectively. My final module in forensic psychology and counselling was particularly enlightening, sparking a passion that I am eager to explore further.

Although I do not have formal work experience in this field, I believe my life experience and academic background have equipped me with a solid foundation and a unique perspective.

As a mother, I have honed my skills in empathy, communication, and problem-solving—qualities that are crucial for a career in counselling and forensic psychology.

My life experiences have given me a deep understanding of human behavior, which I am eager to apply and expand upon in a professional setting.

I am particularly drawn to the intersection of psychology and the legal system, and I am eager to contribute to this field by helping individuals navigate complex emotional and psychological challenges. I am committed to continuing my education and gaining practical experience to develop the skills necessary to make a meaningful impact in this field.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to further my studies in forensic psychology. I am confident that my unique background, coupled with my academic achievements and life experiences, will enable me to excel in this program and contribute positively to the field. I am eager to embark on this next chapter of my educational and work experience journey.
