Dr.Vasuki's session on "Connecting and Communicating Successfully with People", especially the emphasis on the point that "the way we communicate is more important rather than what we communicate" and her tips on "How to start a conversation and the words to avoid to maintain a cordial relationship" made many people think about their attitude. On the whole, it was an informative and useful session. Those who attended wanted a more lengthy session with Dr.Vasuki.

I have known Mrs. Vasuki as a Psychological Consultant since 2006. It’s not flattery that she is a unique psychologist, I mean it. The simple & unusual strategies adopted by her to diagnose the causes of the issue/concern/problem and the apt. follow up offered by her are indeed scientific and original. The sessions organized by her for teachers, parents and students are not only pertinent to the group of listeners to gain knowledge about unexplored spheres of their life but also enhance each participant. The sessions conducted by Mrs. Vasuki in our School for Teachers, Parents and Students were indeed an awakening and informative. They have served as guidelines peaceful living.

I had an amazing experience taking part in the internship. The mock sessions gave me an opportunity to open up and speak, which I've never done before. The presentations made me look at the client's issues from a counselor's perspective rather than just conceive the concepts theoretically. Also, every single class was conducted in an interactive manner, which made everyone open up, ask questions and discuss. I just wish we had more time in terms of the duration of the internship so that we could have learned even more. Otherwise, I had an enriching experience overall.

The best part of internship was that it was so well crafted that it gave us at least a touch base on the whole spectrum of counselling psychology and psychotherapy. The added elements with a guest lecture and sharing of perspective by a clinical psychologist was cherry on top. Getting insights on key micro skills and getting to practice few of them through role plays both on the client side and counselor side was immense first hand exposure.
Internship acted as a true edifice and our entire application for grooming into a potential successful counselor can now be catapulted. Hope we continue to have this association with you in some form or another and continue to learn from you and add our perspective and new dimensions into the profession with our continually growing experience and expertise.
Prathema P
The sessions were quite insightful. They helped me to pay attention to tiny details that I usually overlook. Thank you for highlighting the fact that which ever approach feels comfortable for us is the starting point. There is a long way to go. I have come to realize that working together as a team is a lot more useful that working alone.

The internship program was good and really helpful and Vasuki mam guided us well. While
starting there was just a vague idea about the field of corporate counseling, but towards the end
there was more clarity on the subject. The sessions on POSH and Diet and mental health were
really informative and shined light on various issues in the sector and how a counselor should
have more knowledge about various things to help the clients. Mock sessions helped in
grasping the role of a counselor in handling clients with various issues. The process of
counseling and the skills of a counselor were also revised during the course of the internship.
Presentations towards the end involving cases and role playing helped in identifying the different
problems that individuals face in corporate sectors and how a counselor will be guiding them

The internship experience was a great learning experience. Initially, there was no idea about
what to expect from the program but towards the end, there was a clear understanding of the
various issues in the corporate sector. The session on POSH by Dr. Veena was very informative
and shed light on the ethical and legal policies associated with sexual harassment within the
company. The group discussions, role-plays, and mock sessions were really helpful to improve
the essential skills necessary for a counselor.

Corporate counseling
The internship program helped me to understand the role of psychologists in the corporate
sector. We had experts talk about the POSH, nutritionand diet, individual discussion, group
discussion and mock sessions. It was really helpful for me to understand from a psychological
perspective. Role plays conducted helps to know how to handle the situations when it comes to
the corporate sector, how to respond etc . Overall It was informative and helpful.
Joselin Femilda J
Corporate counseling
The internship was really well structured with sessions on POSH and diet habits that are
necessary while dealing with employees dealing with issues regarding that. Also the discussions
were detailed and with great clarity. Personally, I found certain segments in the diet presentation
out of context to the counseling and the knowledge regarding coun. but either way, it was a
good learning experience. The mock sessions and the follow up guidance helped in practicing
and putting the learned counseling skills into practice. Overall, it was a good experience which
helped in improving confidence in dealing with issues as a counselor.
