Hi, I'm Tejal —
understanding minds, telling their stories.
Psychology Honours student at Delhi University, clinical intern, and the creator behind @psychwithtejal — making psychology feel human, one reel at a time.
A psychologist-in-training who also builds brands
I'm a third-year Psychology Honours student at Mata Sundri College for Women (Delhi University), currently interning at a clinical psychology setting where I'm putting counselling microskills, assessments, and case documentation into real practice.
Alongside my degree, I run @psychwithtejal, a psychology content platform that translates concepts for a wider audience — book breakdowns, everyday psychology, and reflections on university life. I'm also completing a six-month digital marketing course, because I believe good psychological insight deserves to travel further than a lecture hall.

Beyond the Certificates
Alongside formal internships, I've volunteered at outreach drives with The Sankalp Organisation, spending time working directly with children in underserved communities and supporting video editing for awareness content.
One memory that's stayed with me: during an art activity, a young girl I was working with drew both our names — "Naiwika" and "Tejal" — surrounded by flowers on a page. It's a small moment, but it's the kind of connection that reminds me why I want to do this work.
