Summary Designed to equip Kenya's aspiring mental health professionals with the skills and practical client-facing experience they need to land a full-time role. Interns complete an intensive one-month crash course covering a toolkit of evidence-based techniques from Motivational Interviewing, Coaching, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They then provide free online, one-to-one coaching to clients based in kenya and around the world who'd otherwise be unable to afford it. They start with clients who just want to change their behaviour (e.g., diet, sleep, reducing procrastination), and work their way up to clients with depression or anxiety. About Us Overcome is a UK-registered charity (Charity Number: 1191308), providing online mental health coaching worldwide, particularly to underserved communities in developing countries. We are a trusted industrial attachment placement provider for leading universities such as UCL, Bath, and Loughborough in the UK.
