Welcome
A wide-angled path into a very grounded practice.
An M.Sc. in Clinical & Counselling Psychology sits alongside an M.A. in Disaster Management and a B.A. Hons in Geography — training that started far from a clinic room and arrived at one anyway.
That range shows up in how she works: strong psychometric depth, clinical training across IMHH Agra and CIP Ranchi, and field exposure to psychological preparedness frameworks through the National Disaster Response Force.
What she's built and led:
On how she works
"A geographer's map, a responder's checklist, a clinician's assessment battery — different disciplines, one instinct: build the structure first, so the care can hold."
Work with AkankshaRigorously trained
Clinical fieldwork at IMHH Agra and CIP Ranchi — case history, mental status examination, and a full battery of projective, personality, and neuropsychological assessments.
Field-tested
Exposure to psychological preparedness frameworks with the National Disaster Response Force — care structured for real conditions, not just calm ones.
Evidence-based
Six studies deep — cognitive load, AI acceptance, digital loneliness, athlete psychology — including lead authorship on a new passive social media use scale.
