Hi, I am Yakshita!
I’m a University of Edinburgh alumnus (MSc Psychology of Mental Health) and currently work as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS.
As an international student, I remember feeling overwhelmed by lectures, deadlines and a new culture. Self-doubt was constant, and I kept wishing for support that felt more expert than a friend but less intimidating than a clinic room.
Uplifted is the support I wish I’d had. It blends evidence-based guidance with a warm, accessible approach to help international students navigate academic pressures, cultural transition and mental wellbeing.
Uplifted is a psychologically informed programme, not a clinical intervention or therapy. If you're going through a mental health crisis or need clinical support, please reach out to your university's counselling service, your GP, or a crisis helpline.
