"The internship was very helpful as it helped me gain exposure to case studies through real examples, and learning about how therapy works on the field, and how management/treatment plans are formulated was very enlightening and helped me consolidate my learning very well. The sessions were very engaging and informative and gave me a deep insight into not just the theoretical basis of concepts but also their practical application."
"Learning about working in the field of clinical psychology has taught me a lot about what it requires and how it differs from other fields — this really helped me gain clarity in terms of choosing my professional field.
I feel like my interest was really sparked whenever I was listening to the cases being discussed. It’s tough to put into words how grateful and appreciative I am for my internship at Ummeed."
"The sessions were all very insightful. I learnt a lot from all the teachers. This internship definitely helped augment the classroom learning."
"I went through an internship in the core areas of mental well being, positive psychology and capacity building in your institution i.e, Ummeed. The teachers were close-knit and well coordinated; they were very passionate about their work and inspired me to follow their example. I learned to do quality work, to not be afraid of mistaked, to discuss problems and to find the best solutions. In general, I can say that the internship at Ummeed was an invaluable experience for me, and the knowledge and skills I gained from the activities and the study materials provided during this period will certainly help me in the future."
"I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the counsellors/teachers here for the brilliant sessions conducted during the internship.I have gained a lot of knowledge in the past one and half months and I am sure others in the group feel the same.What I loved about this group is the diversity present in this and I am really happy that I was really able to collaborate with all. With some passively and some actively."
"I had an extremely interesting time working at Ummeed. The opportunity to learn from the practical experience of people working in the field of Counseling was invaluable and exposure. Being able to observe counseling sessions at a college was a unique experience that is not easily available for a trainee and I learned a lot from it. Additionally, learning different kinds of testing and counseling techniques goes beyond the scope of theoretical learning done in universities and provided a fantastic opportunity to understand what a career in this field would entail. Thank you to the whole team for lending your time and experience!"
"Thank you for the opportunity to learn more applied skills regarding psychological science, and to allow me to explore and immerse myself in the culture here! An experience I will remember forever and am truly grateful for. Thank you to everyone who made my trip here feels so special! I always felt safe and welcomed at Ummeed. The school tours, the sessions, and the care, will not be forgotten. I will miss you all!"
"Thank you so much for your support and guidance, counselors! I’ve learnt so much from all of you, and it’s only made me more curious about psychology. I’m glad I got to spend my month at Ummeed and hope to come back some day."
"Thank you so much Salony ma'am and Team Ummeed for everything.
It was a lovely experience being at Ummeed, getting exposure and knowledge about so many things. I am always going to cherish my days spent at Ummeed.
Hope to see you all again soon."
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn and grow with Ummeed. Not only did I get the best mentors but also experiences that have taken me one step further towards being a good counsellor. Thank you for bearing with me and guiding me with patience. I may not become an Ace counsellor as you are but I strive to become a good counsellor and that would be my Sharanagati to you.”
“I have been interning at Ummeed for two months and it has been a wonderful experience. Going for workshops and just by observing, I have learned a lot. I got to know the problems people face and the importance of giving a supportive hand to people, just like Ummeed. I have attended a number of supervision sessions, in which we get to know different experiences and the times we live in. It is so important to help oneself and others to make the world a better place. Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to learn about others and myself as a human being who is capable of touching the lives of others.”
“I would like to thank Ummeed for the month long thorough and well organized internship programme. The discussions were truly insightful. I particularly enjoyed the supervision sessions held under the guidance of senior counselors, which made me understand the real life experiences of being a counsellor. It helped me understand how intense situations can become and how sensitively they must be handled. I also got an opportunity to facilitate the workshops which gave me an idea as to how a session is conducted for different age groups. The session held by Anindita ma’am was also very interesting and informative about understanding different learning related issues in students, and I am happy that I could be a part of that group because it gave information that I may not have been able to come across otherwise. There is so much that I have learnt during this internship and I am thankful for the guidance and opportunity that was provided to me throughout. This is exactly what I was expecting from the internship. I will surely recommend Ummeed internship to all my colleagues and friends and I look forward to work with the team of Ummeed in the future also. Thank you.”
“The manner in which Ummeed has encouraged me to seek, learn and experience, is beyond bound. I am grateful to Ma'am Salony for taking me, an intern from a history background, under her wing and guiding me through the month's internship.I also wish to thank Ma'am Spriha, my mentor.
The internship enhanced my skills of team work by teaching me to work along with co-workers by editing data and adding to Manuel information on life skills and time management.
I was guided to correct certain portions of the answer Scripts of the Basic counselling certificate course of the teachers of Gems Academia International.
The greatest project opportunity in my opinion was that of the counselling session at BGES ( Bhawanipur Gujarati Educational Society, College) that began on the 16th of June, 2017. I was part of the discussion held to organise and discuss the manner in which the project would be carried out. At this point I role played for a mock interview session. For a period of three days, I sat beside counsellors observing their skills of conversing with children and ability to identify the challenges faced by these young adults. From the 20 th of June till the 10 th of July, 2017, I interviewed over 300 students. Here I refined my interpersonal skills, became aware of the impact of social circumstances on personality development among individuals, and learnt to identify the areas in which individuals could reach unlimited heights with the support of a professional counsellor.
For the versatile work experiences and a supportive lot of co workers, I can never be grateful enough to Ummeed."
My 6 week internship here has been a very enjoyable and learn able experience. It has not only helped me look a little deeper into the emotions of others and be empathetic, it has also helped me understand myself better. My work experience here has been very informative. It was a great experience researching and developing content on topics like LOVE INFATUATION AND FRIENDSHIP IN ADOLESCENTS and DISTRACTIONS IN ADOLESCENTS, as well as learning how to make presentations regarding the documentation done while we attended the workshops conducted by you, at schools like FRANK ANTHONY PUBLIC SCHOOL and ARMY PUBLIC SCHOOL BARRACKPORE. I've also enjoyed Kasturi Mam's supervision sessions where I could to study and understand real life case studies regarding topics like sexual abuse and transgender awareness.
I have been provided with a variety of exposure at Ummeed and your foundation has given me a platform for a hands on internship experience.
For this I am highly obliged.
If given the opportunity, I would like to intern here, again.
This was the very first time I enrolled for an internship. It was a 4-week internship at Ummeed. Each day had a lesson on its own, not just lesson related to my subject but otherwise too. I have been able to learn more than I could expect in such a short duration. It was beautiful to understand the efforts put in. The workshops conducted are worth an attendance, they really get one thinking hard. I had the privilege to attend a workshop with ma'am Salony as facilitator-that workshop helped me change my perspective about the way we see and understand children. I was also given the opportunity to develop content on the topics such as-'Issues children face in schools' and 'Love, infatuation and friendship in co-ed schools',also developed checklists and handouts. I thank my mentor Ma'am Spriha for her guidance; and I also thank Ma'am Anusuya for her kindness and support. The in-house sessions with Kasturi ma'am were great I am glad I could be a part of it.
The experience was great altogether and worth it.
Thank you Salony ma'am for the opportunity.
Ummeed means a ray of hope and I learnt the true meaning of it working as an intern here, when people dedicate themselves to help others to move in a positive direction and do their bit to make every child count and make them feel worthy by indulging in helping them. As an intern, it was a journey I began towards strengthening my aspiration and therefore be a part of Ummeed and work under the loving shadow of Ms. Salony Priya. I had the privilege to attend a parenting workshops conducted by Ms. Salony Priya at Ummeed Centre. It was a whole new platform for me to understand the various problems, parents face with their children. I also attended the Basic Counseling Skills workshop as a facilitator at various esteemed schools in Kolkata. To sum up my experience at Ummeed was very different and it also helped me to have a stronger bond with Psychology as a subject. I would also like to thank my mentor Ms. Spriha for being my guiding light making this short but enriching experience a memory to remember and cherish.
My 6 weeks of internship at Ummeed has been a very enjoyable and learning experience. It has helped me to look a little deeper into the feelings of people. Our work experience here has been informative and helped us understand the needs of the people better.

In their sessions, we would have discussions on various cases and would be helped to understand how to deal with it.
