Why This Page Exists
Clinical training doesn’t end when the internship does.
The people who train with us go on to become clinicians, advocates, researchers, and educators. This page follows their journeys because their work is a reflection of what good training makes possible.

Where are they now
MHC Internship · 2025

“Clinical work is much more nuanced than I expected. Asking the right questions, building trust, and establishing credibility are all vital.”
Neuro Internship · 2026
Ammarah Sakrani
Content Writer, Academic · Final Year BS Psychology, Bahria University
“I expected clinical work to be textbook-like. You don’t fully understand what ‘real-world practice is unpredictable’ means until you’re in the room yourself.”
Inpatient Enrichment Volunteership · Oct 2025 – Jan 2026
Laiba Qasim & Arwa Arif
Final Year BS Psychology · Creative Arts Facilitators, IQ Inpatient Unit
“It’s not scary the way people think. It’s just people who need care and understanding.”
