Priya Dhandapani

I am currently working as a Lecturer in Psychology with Counselling at Keele University, UK. I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Madras and bring over four years of experience in teaching, research, and clinical practice. My academic journey includes serving as an Assistant Professor at Women’s Christian College, Chennai, and as a Teaching cum Research Fellow, where I taught postgraduate and diploma students in areas such as adolescent counselling, special group counselling, psychological assessments, and clinical practice. I am also the founder of Prism Wellness, an initiative focused on building a strong counselling community and providing training and capacity-building programs for budding counsellors. Through Prism, I aim to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world therapeutic practice, especially in under-resourced communities.
