Counselling Psychologist

Priyanka Duvvuri

Summary

I am a dedicated and empathetic psychology professional with a strong foundation in counseling and a natural strength in organizational management. My experience in therapeutic settings has deepened my understanding of human emotions, behavior, and the diverse perspectives that shape individual lives. I am deeply passionate about the field of mental health — not only for its transformative impact on others but for how it continually challenges and evolves my own perspective on empathy, resilience, and human connection.

Alongside my counseling work, I bring significant experience in planning, coordinating, and executing organizational tasks across academic, clinical, and project-based environments. Whether working one-on-one with clients or managing complex logistics, I thrive in roles that demand both emotional intelligence and practical efficiency. I believe that emotions are not just responses but the essence of what makes us human — and I carry this belief into every space I work in.
