Our principles in teaching
Evidence-based
We teach only reliable approaches whose effectiveness is scientifically proven. We have a clear model of the competencies of a psychologist-consultant, which was developed by scientists of our laboratory — they are mastered by all students of our basic course "Mastery of psychological counseling".
Competence approach
At the heart of our training is the acquisition of skills. Students study in interaction with classmates and teachers. They participate in interviews, supervisions, practice in pairs and groups, analyze sessions of psychologists together, develop projects, consult real clients under the supervision of professionals — and so form and hone the necessary skills. Therefore, our graduates are able to work safely and effectively with a person, and not only understand the theory.
The effectiveness of online learning
We conduct all courses online: we do not adapt offline programs, but initially we build training so that it is effective for all students who sit at computers. We also develop and implement non-standard training formats. For example, we have interactive simulators where you can consolidate knowledge of theory and practice skills.
Safety and ethics
We stand for a therapeutic approach — our students learn it and feel it in the process. We try to support everyone not only technically, but also emotionally, and create a comfortable environment of equality and inclusivity. We do not allow neglect, disrespect, bullying, violence, violation of borders.
Therefore, we issue diplomas of the established sample, which give the right to practice
Оur students can also receive a tax deduction for tuition up to 13%.
Our teachers
We select teachers-practitioners with extensive experience - on average 10-15 years, scientific achievements and prestigious awards, including the "Golden Psyche" - the most prestigious award in the field of psychology in Russia. But personal qualities are no less important to us:
Our teachers in the media:
we work with those who communicate with students on an equal footing and create a safe and supportive space.
Our Community
We appreciate open communication and exchange of experience. Students share their impressions, difficulties and personal victories with each other in educational chats and at reflective meetings, and graduates gather for interviews and discuss their work cases with colleagues.
Our teachers are ready to answer any question about theory and practice, and curators with knowledge in psychology will always support and guide in the process.
