    Dear Nadeem,
    Yes definitely you can do MA in psychology.
    Eligibility for enrolling in M.A. (Psychology) in most of the top universities is pass with 50% aggregate marks in Bachelor's Degree.
    People from psychology and non-psychology both can become a career counselor.
    There are lot of certification programs are available to become a career counselor.
    You have 2 ways
    1. Complete MA in psychology then go for career counsellor certification program
    2. Any graduation and then go for career counsellor certification program
    There is no eligibility for career counsellor certification program. Refer below link
