Psyandpeople - psychologist in people
- Psychologist in People is a project offering affordable psychotherapy for everyone: here you can have 10 sessions with a novice psychologist for 3,000 tenge (4,000 tenge from December). The initiative dispels the myth that psychotherapy is only for ‘psychos’ or ‘the rich,’ bringing psychological help to the people who really need it. The team also introduces novice psychologists to the profession, teaching them ethics, how to work with clients and providing supervision, which helps maintain a high level of consultation. Many clients come on recommendation, and most of the team, about 20 people, have themselves participated in the project at some point. Over the course of this year, 775 psychologists and 6,488 clients have received support.
