Testimonials from graduates and current students in this programme area.
“The practicum placements in Kathmandu schools were unlike anything I had read about in textbooks. I learned more in six weeks in the field than in a full semester of lectures.”
Sushila Gurung
BA Applied Psychology, 2023
“Being supervised in both English and Nepali made a real difference. The role-plays felt real, and our supervisor never let us take shortcuts.”
Riya Joshi
Diploma in Counselling Skills, 2024
“I came in expecting dry theory. I left understanding how the brain, the family and the community are all one system — and how to work with that.”
