Pakhi Verma is an aspiring psychologist, graduating with a BA (Hons.) in Psychology from NorthCap University. With a curious mind, creative spirit, and deep passion for human potential and psychology, she has extensively explored the intersection of psychology, emotional intelligence, and digital innovation. Her goal is to bridge traditional mental health practices with evolving technologies, particularly in the realm of positive clinical psychology.

Pakhi’s academic journey has focused on understanding the mind, how we think, feel, connect, and grow, and how we battle mental disorders. She believes the future of mental health is collaborative, data-informed, and designed with empathy. Her skills include strong organizational abilities, exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. She is also proficient in research writing, novel writing, and has experience with psychological tests like the Children’s Apperception Test (CAT) and relaxation techniques like JPMR.

She has gained practical experience through internships at Manipal Hospitals and Artemis Hospitals. At Manipal, she conducted psychological tests, assisted with brain dysfunction tests, and engaged in rapport building with clients, practicing relaxation techniques. At Artemis, she learned case-history taking and attended various sessions on motivational interviewing, CBT techniques, and therapies for different populations.

Pakhi’s major project, “The Impact of AI Chatbots on Everyday Creativity,” involved an independent research study using SPSS for data analysis, demonstrating her strong skills in research design, data interpretation, and psychological assessment tools. This project revealed a negative correlation between AI chatbot usage and everyday creativity, aligning with her interest in how technology influences human experience.
