How can i become a counselling psychologist after completing msc.counselling psychology?
Hello, I hope you are doing well
After the completion of your MSc in Psychology course, you can proceed to become a registered psychologist. For that, you will have to do an additional two-year MPhil course in Psychology from an institute recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). This is a purely professional course that requires hands-on training.
After completing the MPhil course, you can start practicing as a clinical psychologist anywhere in India. You can specialize either in Clinical Psychology or Rehabilitation Psychology for this MPhil degree.
Here is the list of institutes that offer an MPhil course in Clinical Psychology:
- National Institute of Mental Health & Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore
- Central Institute of Psychiatry, Ranchi
- Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi Regional Institute of Mental Health (LGBRIMH), Tezpur
- Institute of Psychiatry (IPGMER), Kolkata
- Calcutta University, Kolkata
Hope this helps
