Testimonials
My internship experience with VPC has been diverse and very helpful to build my professional career. The training sessions and the supervision were amazingly organized and resourceful. The work that I did at VPC not only helped me to graduate from my course with good grades but also proved useful to help me land a job in Melbourne, Australia at a Government organization. I am very thankful to the founder, Dr. Dhvani Patel to keep the club alive and thriving in the difficult times of Covid and for giving me the opportunity to do my internship with VPC. I definitely recommend this place to all mental health students or recent graduates for your internships!

We are from the UK. We were referred to VPC by a well known child psychologist in Vadodara for an IQ assessment for our child. The Psychologist Ms Ankita Chavda carried out the assessment with great care and accuracy.She also went above and beyond the scope to alleviate all our concerns and queries while discussing the results. The Calm and friendly ambience of the centre made us felt relaxed while we were there. At the center we also met the founder Dr Dhvani Patel who was a pleasure to converse with. In all we can not recommend enough VPC for providing remarkablay ethical and professional Psycological services.

In the short time since its inception, Vadodara Psychology Club is making a name for itself. The range of workshops offered by the founder, Dr. Dhvani Patel and other guest. resource persons provide thorough training, academic engagement and practical insights into the field of Psychology.Having attended the 'Scientific Writing Workshop', I would recommend it to trainee researchers who want to start their research projects/dissertations. No questions or doubts are ever left unattended. Dr. Patel's eye for detailed nuances reflects in her style of teaching/mentorship in classroom, and otherwise. It is also commendable that the training workshops are being offered at student friendly prices which only goes on to show the vision and dedication Dr. Patel has for this field.Don't think twice before signing up! It's worth it; I promise!

As a student, the club has helped me explore dimensions of my possible career in psychology in a way I couldn't have done just through my university course. In fact, it has activities for everyone right from a layperson interested in psychology to a professional with years of experience. Kudos to Dhvani ma'am for her initiative!
