Can I set up a counseling center after completing a Master's in clinical psychology from IGNOU?

Question

So, you're wondering if you can open a counseling center after getting your Master's in clinical psychology from IGNOU. Well, psychology is more than just degrees. It's about understanding people, their behavior, and how they develop. You need to really get how people around you act and react.

As a psychologist, you'll be influencing and being influenced by your patients. That’s why you need a solid understanding to plan and carry out effective therapy.

If you want to get some experience, you could try working as an Inclusion Facilitator at a good school. You’d be helping kids with autism and seeing how they change socially, academically, and even in their eating and play habits. But remember, experience with kids is super important here.

For becoming a school psychologist, you'll need MA degrees.

Special educators and shadow teachers are often hired by parents, so the requirements might not be as strict. Still, having the right knowledge, skills, and experience is key to making real progress in therapy.

It's a Question about your future!
