Dr. Swati Priyadarshini

I began my journey in the field of psychology when I first learned about the subject. After exploring its details, I found it truly fascinating and decided to dive deep into the vast ocean of psychology to gain as much knowledge as possible. To gain practical and real-time experience, I worked with a few NGOs and rehabilitation centres, both offline and online. I feel blessed to have received such wonderful opportunities, as each session has brought new learning and growth. The real-time experiences and positive feedback from clients continue to motivate me, and my journey in psychology is still ongoing.
