Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a first-year master's degree student in clinical health psychology. I am seeking for a psychology internship position at your reputable organization for a period of 4 months, between January and May.

I am interested in your company because you work using the biopsychosocial model, and I wish to gain more knowledge on its application in psychology. Subsequently, I would have the hands-on experience to contribute to the modern health care improvement system, and support the implementation of health promotion, prevention and rehabilitation programs. While working in your organization, I can advise people on health-related behavior because I have adequate experience as a counselor and psychologist.

My professional view is based on biopsychosocial approach to health. I can perform psychological assessments, conduct counseling, and apply various psychological interventions. I would be more than happy to participate in prevention programs development. For example, stress relief, healthy lifestyle and all the other useful prevention programs. I could conduct a variety of relaxation classes, including breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.

By applying modern health psychology knowledge and skills, I could analyze the personal, group and public health problems in your organization and contribute to the research planning, execution and results interpretation.

I look forward to positive feedback from you in the near future.

Yours faithfully,

Urte Cepukonyte
