Prachi Joshi

Monash University

Master of Counselling

About

I’m deeply empathetic and sensitive, always there to listen and make others feel heard. People say I have a sunflower personality because I believe in the goodness of others and try to make everyone feel at home. I’m a trained singer and music is my way of finding peace. Sunsets and cotton candy skies calm me down in an instant and I’m always happiest when I’m around dogs. A feminist at heart, I believe in equality and empowering others and I’m passionate about using my voice to make the world a better place. I also love psychology and try to stay aware of my privilege, striving to create positive change wherever I can. My expertise: Choosing the university, Application process, Building CV, Masters classes and assessments, Getting a part time work, Finding an accommodation, Finding the right people and building a social life, Loneliness, How to make the most of Melbourne, adjustment issues in a new country, Household chores
