Everything important, one click away. The portal is simple outside, detailed inside.
Which path are you trying to verify?
Pick the goal that sounds like you and follow it to the right framework — and the official source that decides it.
Before you enrol, verify the claim
A brochure can say anything. Official sources decide what is real.
Don't trust claims. Verify them.
Every pathway routes straight to its official source. If a claim is real, it should survive verification.
Psychology careers need extra care
A counselling certificate is not clinical psychology. A psychology degree is different from a private therapy diploma. RCI may matter for certain regulated roles, and behavioural / mental-health support roles need careful wording. The words "counsellor", "therapist" and "psychologist" are not interchangeable in every regulated context.
Where relevant, guidance may be offered by qualified counsellors or RCI-licensed psychologists — never as a replacement for official regulators.

Popular questions
Explore bodies, councils, universities & accreditation organizations
Before trusting any claim, understand who the body is — a government regulator, a university, an accreditation body, a private institute, a professional association, or an international organization. Each has a different role and different limits.
Before you pay for any course, understand the pathway
A course may be useful. A certificate may be valuable. A degree may open doors. A registration may be required. A licence may be mandatory. The point is not to fear education — it's to choose with clarity.
We simplify. You verify. Authorities decide.
Compare my pathway
Answer three quick questions for a calm, non-binding sense of which pathways may relate to you — and what to verify next. This is guidance, not an eligibility, validity, approval or registration decision.

Psychology careers need extra care
One of India's most confusing areas. Degrees, counselling certificates, private therapy diplomas, RCI-linked clinical and rehabilitation pathways, behavioural-health roles and international certifications all exist — and they do not all mean the same thing.
Counselling vs clinical psychology
A private counselling certificate may help with counselling basics. A psychology degree may support higher education and career growth. Certain regulated clinical and rehabilitation roles may require an RCI-recognised qualification. The words "counsellor", "therapist" and "psychologist" are not interchangeable in every regulated context.
Where each pathway may fit
Before you enrol, verify the claim
A brochure can say anything. Official sources decide what is real. Use this before you pay for any course — it may be the most valuable page on the site.
What do you want to verify?
A course claim
“Is this certificate useful? Is this degree valid?”
An institution claim
“Is this university, institute or training centre listed?”
A body or accreditation claim
“Is this council, board, accreditation body or association official, private or international?”

Confusing topics explained simply — no jargon, no overselling. Every guide ends the same way: verify through official sources before you act.

The questions people actually ask us — answered calmly and honestly, with official sources. A knowledge desk, not a random forum.
Ask a question
Your question may be reviewed and answered as general guidance. We never publish personal details.
Tell us your case
Maybe your qualification is unusual, your course is private, or you're unsure whether RCI or NCAHP applies. Maybe you want to know if a degree is valid, work abroad, or understand institutional compliance. That's where private guidance helps.

Bodies, Councils, Universities & Accreditation Directory
Understand the role of government bodies, universities, accreditation organizations, international bodies, mental-health institutions and private education providers — before trusting any claim.
Many names sound powerful — council, board, academy, university, accreditation body, institute, association, federation, commission, international organization. They do not all carry the same legal value. This directory helps you understand what each body is, what it does, what it can offer, what it cannot, and where to verify official claims.
Tap a row to expand details · Use a source link to verify · Tap "Submit correction" to flag an error.
This directory includes private psychology, counselling, mental health, allied healthcare, paramedical, healthcare training and healthcare education providers. Listing does not mean approval, recognition, licence, registration, degree validity, employability guarantee, or international acceptance. Users must verify the exact course, awarding body, mode, faculty, legal status, recognition claim, and outcome before choosing.
Not every body has the same authority
The name matters less than the legal authority, recognition scope and official proof.
Compare body types
What each type can usually offer — and what it cannot automatically offer.
| Body type | Can usually offer | Cannot automatically offer |
|---|
- Learning & skill-building
- CPD, workshops & supervised exposure
- Internship support (if actually provided)
- Applied knowledge, community training
- Career orientation & portfolio building
- University degree · statutory licence
- Government / RCI / NCAHP registration
- UGC degree validity · clinical practice rights
- Guaranteed job or foreign acceptance
- "Valid worldwide" · "Government approved" · "Equivalent to degree"
Private education can be valuable. The problem starts when learning value is presented as legal recognition.
