About me
I am a qualified Sport and Exercise Psychologist, holding a Doctor of Psychology (DPsych) degree from Glasgow Caledonian University. My academic journey began with an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Brunel University, complemented by undergraduate studies in Psychology at the University of Mumbai. This diverse educational background has equipped me with a unique perspective and a comprehensive set of skills.
My research passion centers around Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and its transformative application in sport psychology. Witnessing the profound impact of CBT on athletes' performance, well-being, and mindset propels my professional journey. Cultural sport psychology is a cornerstone of my work, as I firmly believe that understanding diverse cultural backgrounds is key to unlocking peak performance.
My personal connection to sports is profound, having been a national table tennis athlete. This firsthand experience ignited my curiosity and commitment to sport psychology. Being both an athlete and a psychologist allows me to empathetically grasp the challenges athletes face, not just physically, but also mentally.
In today's evolving sport landscape, my dedication extends to promoting safe and ethical practices. I strongly advocate for athletes' mental health, recognising its paramount importance in performance and overall well-being. My motto is to give back and leave behind a positive impact.
I invite you to connect with me, and let's initiate a conversation about optimising performance, fostering well-being, and navigating the complex realm of sport psychology.
