Shaping the Future of Psychology Through Hands-On Training

We take immense pride in nurturing the next generation of psychology professionals by providing enriching internship experiences. Over the years, we have had the privilege of mentoring students from esteemed institutions, including Kerala University, Calicut University, and Kannur University, who have successfully completed their Clinical Psychology, Counselling Psychology, and Organizational Behavior (OB) internships with us.

Our reach extends beyond Kerala, as we have also welcomed Psychology students from Jammu University (Batch 2020) and IGNOU students from various states between 2019 and 2024. These aspiring psychologists have gained invaluable hands-on experience, refining their skills under expert guidance while engaging in real-world psychological practice.

With a strong commitment to excellence in psychological training, we continue to provide a dynamic learning environment that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and professional expertise. Our goal is to empower students with the confidence, skills, and ethical grounding needed to excel in their future careers.
