Ayush Panda

I am a counselling psychologist with experience in mental health support (40+ hours of supervised training), psychotherapy, and psychological research. My work spans individual and school counselling, workshop facilitation, assessment, and statistical research in cognitive psychology. I am passionate about making mental health support accessible, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive. Over the years, I have worked with diverse populations—students, young adults, special-needs learners, and community groups—providing counselling, conducting assessments, and leading large-scale workshops on emotional regulation, mindfulness, and academic skills. In addition to clinical and counselling practice, I have strong expertise in psychological research and statistics. I have contributed to multiple research projects involving mixed-methods designs, scale development, cognitive experiments, and advanced data analysis using SPSS, JASP, and Psychopy. I enjoy designing engaging learning spaces, simplifying complex psychological concepts, and supporting individuals through meaningful, strengths-based guidance. My long-term goal is to combine counselling, research, and teaching to advance mental health awareness and support systems in India. Key Interests: Mental health counselling, cognitive psychology research, assessment, positive psychology, academic writing workshops, scale construction, mixed-methods research, and student development.
