My experience here at Montfort was very enriching and fruitful from being a student who used to rarely talk to a student who is ready to take up new challenges and initiatives. I am highly grateful to Montfort & the Montfort family for all the love, care, and support towards my growth as a person and also as a mental health professional.
This institution has helped to me to handle myself the feelings, emotions and the pain of the broken ones while learning to handle my own within my capacity. MIAS has done a vital role in the field of psychology and counselling with its experienced staff and a homely atmosphere. The institute and the amazing staff have been successful in engraving in me the sense of responsibility, curiosity and the fire to go beyond my capacity to know the young and old down with the multitude of problems of daily life. The seeds of where I am today is planted here and am greatful for that amazing experiences. With the committed staff and the given atmosphere I am sure the future of anyone here is the safe hands to deal with the broken while you become a wounded healer to heal the world and the society at large
My 2 years at Montfort, have been life altering. At 43, I had decided to come back to full-time college, to pursue counselling psychology. Coming from different age groups, experiences, backgrounds, careers and graduation courses – the diversity of the class enriched me. The course was a mix of academics, practical, personal therapy, group therapy, supervision, research and internship- a multi-pronged approach to help us delve deeper into ourselves and have hands-on experience. Our professors encouraged classroom discussions, bringing in their experiences and perspectives, adding depth and reality to the learning. Just being part of this course has changed me as a person, giving me insights into myself – which maybe, I would have never had.
After working as an anesthesiologist for 20 years, I joined Montfort as a student. I was skeptical and anxious. As I entered college, the greenery made me feel calm and happy. Despite my classmates being from diverse age groups and backgrounds, there was acceptance and camaraderie. I only have superlatives about my teachers who were very knowledgeable and also gave scope for discussions and made us feel comfortable asking our most inane doubts. Empathy,non-judgemental,acceptance, agency were not mere words that I heard in class, it was something I felt on campus. Montfort will always hold a special place in my heart.
There are many things that make MIAS a great place to learn.
First, is the opportunity to learn with diverse peers from all backgrounds.
Second, learning takes place through practicum and supervision. Seeing what you learn in theory in practice is the biggest learning.
Third, I appreciate how everyone bands together to help each other succeed, especially since counselling does take a toll on you. Its collective strength, great friendships made that helped sail through my hardships.
I finish feeling empowered to help others. I finish feeling a strong sense of achievement and belief in myself as a person and a counsellor.
As a student of Montfort, I take pride in the practical exposure that was provided to us, with constant supervision, immensely talented and empathetic facilitators, and theoretically strong foundation. Montfort helped me evolve as a better individual, by providing me a huge platform and equal emphasis on intellectual, practical and emotional development. The course plan is adequately designed to ensure complete preparation to help us enter into the world as counsellors. The facilitators are inclined towards providing quality education and supportive environment to nurture our journey, ensuring safe space for self-introspection.
Studying at Montfort has been amazing. The environment provided here was something that I have never seen in any other institution, an environment most conducive to learn the subject of Psychology. I found that I could be myself and explore more of me in an space that is open minded and accepting. The friends that I made here are nothing but exceptional and are friends for life.
The practical exposure and training were good, considering I was part of the Pandemic batch. I felt we missed out on experiencing the course fully since it was partly online.
Finally I would like to appreciate the staff and administration for their relentless efforts and dedication to supporting us and providing a great learning environment.
