INDIAN ACADEMY of PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISORS (IAPS) has been founded by Dr. Vasuki Mathivanan, Counselling Psychologist from Chennai. It has been registered under Tamil Nadu Society Act in 2018. Dr. Vasuki along with like-minded mental health professionals established IAPS with the objective to enhance, sustain, and promote professional supervision amongst mental health professionals through standardized practice. Since its inception, IAPS has grown to be a pan India organization. Through collaborations with various institutions of repute, IAPS has created awareness about the importance of professional supervision in psychological practice. In compliance with its vision and mission IAPS has expanded its activities into research publication and promoting ethical research protocols.
The IAPS has forayed into publication of research in psychological practice through its journal – the IAPS Journal of Practice in Mental Health. To promote ethical practice in psychological research the IAPS has been certified as the ‘Independent Ethical Committee’ in the field of psychology.
