Hi, I’m Dr. Deepshikha Paliwal—a psychologist, life coach, and passionate educator with a PhD in Psychology. My journey has been shaped by a deep curiosity about the human mind and a strong desire to help people live more meaningful, empowered lives.

 

Why Psychology felt right for me?

I chose to study psychology because no other subject felt as relatable in understanding myself and the world around me. As I progressed in this field, I realized how much it helped me find clarity when I felt lost. Psychology gave me a sense of self-awareness, allowing me to stay mindful of my thoughts, emotions, and surroundings. Looking back, I am truly grateful for the moment I decided to pursue it for my Master’s and PhD.

How I Can Support Your Coaching Journey?

Through my work, I bridge the gap between psychology and coaching. I take evidence-based psychological principles and turn them into practical, heart-centered strategies that help coaches, creators, and changemakers grow with clarity and purpose. Whether you’re navigating your own healing, building a coaching business, or simply exploring personal development, I’m here to offer grounded support and soulful guidance.

My approach is simple, honest, and deeply human. I believe that real change begins with understanding yourself—and that you don’t have to do it all alone.

I have been fortunate to receive my education from some of India’s most respected institutions:
