Testimonials

Renuka Bansal

It was a great experience. The management was good. I had a good experience and a safe space to talk about my doubts. Everyone was great and supportive. I didn't feel judged for a moment. I enjoyed it very much. And in this course I could work on my social anxiety too as I wasn't able to talk to people earlier. But now, it's much better than before!

It was really brilliant and felt like a bias free and non judgemental space to explore various aspects related to the course and self as well. The best part was role plays as it felt safe and full of experiential learning with fellow psychologists
