Psychologist/Professor @Westford University

EducationLecturerSoft Skills TrainerProfessor

I am a dedicated Associate Professor at Westford University in the UAE, specialising in psychology education with a distinct focus on Counselling Psychology. With extensive experience as a counselling psychologist from India, I bring a well-rounded perspective to my teaching, blending clinical insights with a solid grounding in academic and business psychology principles. My teaching philosophy emphasises active learning and real-world application, inspiring students to connect psychological concepts to everyday challenges and workplace dynamics. I design engaging modules and curate immersive activities—such as themed workshops and events, to enhance students' practical understanding of psychological theories. As both an educator and a mental health professional, I am passionate about fostering environments where students can explore psychology’s power to create positive change. Open to collaborations, I’m eager to connect with professionals and educators who share a commitment to impactful, psychologically-informed education.
