We talk about parenting, partnership, self-awareness, and all that unfolds between minds.
What’s said. What’s felt. What’s unfolding.
About Us
About Us
Two friends with a shared love for psychology - one a researcher, clinician, and mom navigating emotional worlds across two cultures; the other a creative thinker shaping how those ideas look and feel. Together, we built Between Minds Project as a space where clinical insight meets honest human experience.

Meet Shammi and Alisa
Between Minds Project is shaped by one voice rooted in clinical psychology and one rooted in design, emotional tone, and how reflective work feels in the body.

Hello everyone! I’m Shammi, Co-Founder of Between Minds Project.
I’m a psychologist, a PhD researcher, a mom, and someone who has spent years inside both clinical settings and corporate environments - which means I understand not just the theory of how we think and feel, but the reality of how it plays out under pressure, in relationships, and behind closed doors.
My academic work has taken me deep into the science of the mind - studying how people affect each other’s mental and emotional health within relationships, and the darker personality dynamics that so often go unnamed. But sitting across from real people - in clinical rooms, in corporate spaces, and now as a mother raising a child between two cultures - taught me everything the research couldn’t.
I paused my PhD to do something I felt was urgent: to take what psychology keeps locked inside journals and lecture halls, and bring it into the conversations people are actually having. About their relationships. Their children. Themselves.
I currently offer 1-to-1 sessions, workshops, and courses - all grounded in clinical psychology and emotional intelligence, and all designed to feel warm, clear, and genuinely useful. I’m also currently finishing my first book, Puddles, Patience and Play - a research-backed guide to raising emotionally intelligent children from birth to five.
I’m also building something new. Kara is an AI companion I’m developing - grounded in emotional intelligence and designed to support reflection without replacing human connection. Not diagnostic. Not romantic. Something closer to a thoughtful presence that’s available when you need it most. More on that soon.
Between Minds Project is where all of that lives. I’m so glad you’re here.
Thank you for being part of this journey. There’s more ahead. Stay with us. 🤍

BSc Psychology
Hello everyone! I’m Alisa, Co-Founder of Between Minds Project.
What began as a spontaneous 2 a.m. conversation has grown into something truly meaningful - a passion project we’re now pouring our hearts into.
At 24, I bring a sharp eye for design and creativity alongside a deep-rooted passion for psychology. I believe that how something looks and how it feels are deeply connected - and that good design isn’t decoration, it’s the thing that makes people feel safe enough to stay and read and reflect.
My background in psychology, combined with a genuine love for mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness, shapes everything I contribute here. I care about building spaces that feel non-judgmental, human, and genuinely supportive - where the emotional tone is as carefully considered as the content.
Between Minds Project is more than just a project to me. It’s a journey of connection, emotional insight, and helping others lead more conscious, empowered lives.
Thank you for being part of this journey. There is so much more to come.
Our Approach
Our Approach
Insight meets lived experience
Clinical knowledge doesn't exist in isolation here. Everything we share is translated through the reality of relationships, families, and the emotional patterns we all carry - consciously or not. Years inside clinical settings, corporate environments, and the everyday complexity of parenting inform every word.
Emotional intelligence without performance
EQ - emotional intelligence - is at the heart of everything we do. Not as a buzzword, but as a daily practice. A way of understanding yourself and others that doesn't require you to have it all figured out. The work here is serious, but never cold.
The thoughts underneath the feelings
A lot of the work here is quietly shaped by cognitive behavioural principles - the idea that the stories we tell ourselves about events matter as much as the events themselves. We don't make that clinical. We make it practical. When you start to notice the thought underneath the feeling, and the belief underneath the thought, something shifts. That's the work. Not fixing you - helping you see yourself more clearly.
