Deepanshu Goyal
@deepanshugoyal
Aspiring clinical-counselling psychologist with experience in clinical research, assessment, and therapy settings.
What I'm looking for
I’m an aspiring clinical-counselling psychologist trained at TISS Mumbai, with hands-on exposure across psychiatric, NGO, school, research, and family therapy contexts. My internship work includes clinical research at AIIMS (Speech Health Lab) and mental health research with Counseling Souls in Estonia, where I supported systematic reviews and mental health awareness efforts.
Across clinical placements and fieldworks, I’ve developed strong foundations in clinical interviewing, crisis-aware practice, and psychological assessment—observing and conducting supervised patient interviews while working with tools like PHQ, Hamilton Stress Scale, and Rorschach Inkblot Test. I also bring a counselling-oriented, values-driven approach through queer affirmative practice, active listening, and cross-cultural sensitivity, supporting students and women and children through needs assessment and structured interventions.
