In the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Legal Psychology at MSUPE held 6 sessions of the Scientific and Practical Student Club "Modern Methods of Psychotherapy and Psychological Counseling," led by Natalia Viktorovna Vlasova, Associate Professor of the Department of Legal Psychology and Law, Candidate of Psychological Sciences.

The sessions were conducted according to the academic schedule for 4th and 5th-year student groups. Students familiarized themselves with the theoretical principles of various psychotherapeutic approaches, tried out practical techniques, and applied methods within the framework of training exercises. The experience gained provides club members with the opportunity to use it both for self-analysis and for providing psychological support to others.

Club participants share their experiences:

"The club helps to navigate the countless number of methods and approaches. Natalia Viktorovna introduces students to existing tools in psychological counseling in an accessible way and allows us to try them out on ourselves under her careful guidance. At the same time, a very warm atmosphere always reigns in the club, which makes you want to come to the classes again.", Arina Fedorova, group 21YuP-KP, 5th year.

"For me, the psychotherapy club was intense and useful. I learned new techniques that I will be able to apply in my future professional activities. Thanks to these classes, I became more interested in the field of psychological counseling, and perhaps I will choose it as my future work. I am very glad that such additional classes are held at our university. Many thanks to Natalia Viktorovna for conducting them in such an interesting way.", Gleb Samokhin, group 21YuP PDP-2, 5th year.

The activities of the scientific and practical club "Modern Methods of Psychotherapy and Psychological Counseling" are planned to continue in the next 2025/26 academic year.

We will be glad to welcome all those who wish to join!
