About Us
Welcome to The Hyderabad Academy of Psychology
The Hyderabad Academy of Psychology (HAP) was established in 2009 to promote psychology and counseling in India. The HAP offers workshops, trainings, counseling and psychotherapy, clinical supervision, outreach services and corporate services to the Hyderabad community.
The vision of HAP is to bring current perspectives of psychology to the fore. Our panel of professionals include specialists in the field from the US, UK and India. We aim to fill the gap in training of counselors and psychologists in India with an emphasis on practical training, theory and clinical supervision. We bring a unique program to the students of HAP by introducing them to workshops and course modules conducted by experts in the field of Counseling and Clinical Psychology.
II.The Hyderabad Academy of Psychology (HAP) has been founded by Dr Diana Monteiro as a training academy and counseling center to bridge the gap between formal psychological education and practical application of psychology in everyday life. We are currently involved in Counselor training, Corporate training, Counseling and Outreach services and Continuing Education of professionals in the field.
The HAP is the first of its kind in the twin cities to offer Counselor training to individuals to ensure that adequate preparation in practical skills, theoretical knowledge and supervision is provided to those who are engaged in the process of helping others. The HAP also offers a wide array of seminars and workshops, throughout the year. We at HAP believe in Continuing Education of specialists and we train students in basic and advanced skills in counseling psychology. We also provide short term workshops and trainings for the professional development of psychologists and counselors.
We believe in action oriented change, and therefore are constantly widening our network of friends and support in the local and national psychology community. In addition, our plans include seeking collaboration with international universities and national organizations, so that students can benefit and grow within the field. Our students can claim the benefits of these networks through better opportunities for higher education and career placements. It is our hope that together we can take the field of psychology to new heights.
We also offer Counseling in various formats (individual, group, couples, child and career) to those in need.
