ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME:
It is generally agreed upon among mental health practitioners that a degree in psychology alone does not help you enter the field and become a practitioner.
The educational experience of psychology undergraduates is not as comprehensive as one would like. Students are always curious to learn so much more about what it is actually like to work in a mental health setting. Based on student’s feedback, our team has curated this internship program to help them explore the essential themes that help in the becoming of a “therapist”. Through this programme, we want to ensure that the students are better able to understand concepts beyond textbook language and get a clear vision of what their calling is, as “a psychology student”. Additionally, you will have the support and guidance of our therapists throughout the internship period!
The duration of this program will be 18 hours in which the interns will also get to engage in research and presentation in their topic of interest. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be awarded with Certificates.
Duration: 18 hours

Ms. Shagun Tiwari
Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioner
Shagun Tiwari is a hypnotherapy practitioner with experience addressing a diverse range of concerns including anxiety, pain management, fears, stress reduction, relationship challenges and grief work. While she employs a human-centred approach in her hypnotherapy, she believes that hypnosis is a very helpful tool in guiding clients to access their subconscious minds and uncover insights and clarity. In today’s noisy world, reconnecting with our core selves can be challenging. However, hypnosis helps re establish this vital connection, enabling individuals to identify and process the roots of their traumas and also ways to process and regulate them.
