Background

About Katie Mitchell

I am a recent BSc (Hons) Forensic Psychology graduate with practical experience supporting prisoners and their families throughout my role with Spurgeons at HMP Winchester. I am passionate about using psychological principles to aid offender rehabilitation, reduce reoffending, and support vulnerable individuals affected by the criminal justice system. During my placement, I developed skills in trauma-informed communication, safeguarding, and emotional support within a custodial setting. I have also volunteered in educational and community roles, enhancing my ability to work empathetically with diverse populations. I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills in forensic or clinical psychology settings and will be furthering my studies through an MSc in Forensic Psychology. I look forward to growing professionally and contributing positively to rehabilitation and mental health support.
