and therapies to help individuals overcome psychological issues and improve their
mental health. Psychotherapy is a crucial aspect of psychology, involving talking to a
trained therapist to address and work through psychological issues. Common forms of
psychotherapy include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and
humanistic therapy. Psychological presentations, such as anxiety, depression, mood
swings, and disordered eating behaviors, can vary depending on the individual and
their specific issues. We used a combination of techniques, such as cognitive
restructuring, relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and communication skills
training, to help individuals understand and overcome their issues. This practicum
included the exploration and use of various psychological techniques in
psychotherapy. seminars were also organized to address diverse psychological issues
tailored towards participants interests. a total of about 19 clients were given individual
psychotherapy, 7 couples therapy and 5 major presentations were organized for over
300 participants during the period of practicum
