Bhavesh Padiyar

Introduction

My interest in psychology was born out of observation, the way people think, react, and adapt has always fascinated me. What began as curiosity soon transformed into a lifelong pursuit to understand and help others navigate their inner world. I’ve built a foundation grounded in academic knowledge and strengthened by real-world counseling and clinical practice. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, a Master’s in Applied Psychology from the University of Delhi (South Campus), and a Postgraduate Diploma in Guidance and Counselling from Jamia Millia Islamia. I am currently engaged in both research and clinical practice, blending evidence-based interventions with empathetic counseling.

I have worked across hospital and rehabilitation settings, offering counseling, conducting psychological assessments, and facilitating group sessions for individuals with emotional, behavioral, and substance-use challenges. My ongoing work at Well Hope and the rehabilitation centre involves individual counseling, psychoeducation, and therapeutic classes aimed at emotional regulation, relapse prevention, and social skill enhancement.

My professional goal is to integrate research-driven and humanistic approaches to promote mental well-being, self-awareness, and resilience in individuals and communities.
