The BDL team

I am Deepika R Lad, a 1st-year MSc Clinical Psychology student and an aspiring clinical psychologist. I believe that both research and interpersonal skills are essential for effectively supporting the mental health of clients. My interest in research, particularly adolescent behavioral research, stems from my past internship experience in this area. I have previously published papers on socio-emotional skills in Generation Alpha and the phenomenon of cohabitation among undergraduate students. 

I am Utkarsh, and I am currently pursuing an MSc in Psychology (Clinical). I have a variety of research interests including the role of meta-cognitions, emotions and sociocultural factors in human decisions and behaviours. I am fascinated by the narratives we create and how they shape our experiences with ourselves and the environment around us. I wish to bridge academic research with real-world problems, using insights from behavioural & psychological science.
