    Counseling Psychology:
    Counseling psychologists do many of the same things that clinical psychologists do. However, counseling psychologists tend to focus more on persons with adjustment problems rather than on persons suffering from severe psychological disorders. They may be trained in psychology departments or in education departments. Counselling psychologists are employed in academic settings, college counselling centers, community mental health centers.

While the course does not train students to diagnose or counsel professionally at an undergraduate level, it builds awareness and sensitivity.

Students learn how mental health issues are understood academically, the difference between common misconceptions and clinical realities, the importance of ethics, consent, and professional boundaries, and why self-diagnosis and casual labelling are discouraged.

This knowledge helps students become more informed and responsible, both personally and professionally.

Psychology can be challenging for students who are not used to analytical thinking. Faculty usually recognise this early and offer support.

Support often includes:

  • Additional explanations during or after class.

  • Feedback on where students are going wrong.

  • Guidance on how to structure answers better.

  • Encouragement rather than discouragement.

Students who seek help early generally see improvement over time.

Students who benefit the most from this programme are those who:

  • Are curious about people and behaviour.

  • Are open to discussion and reflection.

  • Are willing to read and think regularly.

  • Understand that psychology is about patience and depth, not quick answers.

Manya

The course balances both theoretical and practical learning. 

Practicality is achieved through:

  • Case discussions to understand real psychological situations.

  • Assignments that involve observation and analysis.

  • Exposure to applied areas like counselling, organisational behaviour, or mental health.

  • Discussions around ethics and professional boundaries.

  • Internships and industrial exposure
