I Built This Because The Science Should Be Yours.

Not locked in journals. Not hidden behind fees. Yours.

" I am Dr. Priyanka. Psychologist, therapist, educator, and the person who built ETT because brilliant science should not stay locked behind journal paywalls and five-figure degree programmes.

The Academic Journey

My training began with a BSc in Psychology and has never really stopped. A Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy taught me that psychology is not just about individuals, it is about relationships, while a PhD in Psychology taught me how to ask questions that stand up to real scrutiny.
But the education that shaped me most happened outside lecture halls, in art therapy rooms where drawings spoke what words could not, in sandplay sessions where small movements created meaningful shifts, in music and movement spaces where the body remembered what the mind had tried to forget, and in special education classrooms where I learned, again and again, that every brain has its own logic, and our job is to understand it.

Why Multiple Modalities

I trained across modalities because I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. The brain that responds to cognitive behavioural therapy may not respond the same way to movement, or art, or play. That is not failure. That is neuroscience. Every brain is different. Every story is different. ETT and the work I do in sessions are built around that reality.

Why ETT Exists

ETT was born from a simple frustration. Years of conversations with people who had no idea what was happening in their loved one's brain. With young adults who thought something was fundamentally wrong with them when actually something fascinating was happening. With students who were curious about psychology but could not afford the textbooks. With anyone who had ever asked 'why do I do what I do?' and been met with a shrug.
The science exists to answer those questions. It just needed a translator.

That is what ETT is. And that is what I built it to be.
