02 — Practicum

Live Practice with Dr. Ragimov

Live demonstration sessions are held every week: real clinical material, supervision, and case analysis. Knowing the theory is not enough — developing counselling skills requires working alongside an experienced professional. This programme takes you from "I know" to "I can do."
