why this course

Is clinical the field for you?

Clinical psychology is one of the most sought-after and most misunderstood paths in the field. It is not just listening, and it is not the same as psychiatry or counselling. This course gives you the real shape of the work, the conditions, the assessment, the therapies, and the training path in India, so your decision to pursue it, or not, is an informed one.
