Dear Vasudev, After completing your post-graduation, a few of the areas you can work in include Schools, colleges, and other educational institutes. Psychological counseling centers. Marriage and relationship counseling agencies. I am an alumnus of LPU and my friend also enrolled at LPU in the M.A. Psychology programme last year as per my recommendation. If I am not wrong, M.A. Psychology or Master of Arts in Psychology is a postgraduate Psychology course. Psychology includes a comprehensive and thorough study of Psychology as a discipline at an advanced level. In other words, M.A. (Psychology) degree course is a study involving the scientific study of mental functions and behavior. According to my opinion and research, doing a master's in psychology from LPU will be your wise decision. I have heard that this programme at LPU seeks to provide an understanding of human behavior with a broad focus on psychological testing, Psychopathology, Health Psychology, Positive Psychology, and Organizational Behavior, etc. Let me tell you as all of us are mostly aware that LPU provides ample opportunities to the students as per their core interest, along with placements how LPU helps individual to grow in this field let me explain to you with existing terms at LPU that I am aware of because of one of my relative who is studying at LPU. One department at LPU with the name Department of Happiness is dedicated to such students to get themselves trained with the support of experts in this field. In order to get practical exposure students are asked to interact with the general health queries of other students from mixed backgrounds who need advice for their behavior towards certain situations within the campus. I hope such kind of exposure to well-trained academic services that LPU provides can make a better future for any psychology student, so without thinking much you can go for LPU to complete your Masters. For more details of the M.A. Psychology programme at LPU, you may refer to the LPU website. Hope this information helps. Thank You.

Counseling psychologists help people with physical, emotional and mental health issues improve their sense of wellbeing, alleviate feelings of distress and resolve crises. They also provide assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of more severe psychological symptoms. In the modern curriculum in perspective of employability M.A. In Clinical Psychology is having great weightage. Recently I was vetting some curriculum shared with various universities who offers courses in Psychology, I came across the curriculum shared by Lovely Professional University.

They offer Elective courses from within the discipline, to give more depth or breadth to a student's core competencies. 1. ASSESSMENT AND THERAPIES WITH CHILDERN 2. NEUROPSYCHOLOGY 3. FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY 4. PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES OF ENHANCING PERFORMANCE Major emphasis in this university is laid on exposure and live practices. The students are made to experience Summer School projects where they are counselling adolescence. Educational visits to mental health institutes, clinics, hospitals, NGOs, rehabilitation centers, case studies provide practical exposure for understanding contemporary psychological issues. Dissertation work help strengthen the research orientation in students. Students get the opportunities to interact with experts in order to gain understanding of the subject. In addition to core curricula, course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability. LPU also provides the courses that focuses on the psychology of students at different levels of schools. Provides the course that focuses on the how to construct the test and how to check the reliability and validity of the test. Indeed I found their curriculum & approach very promising.

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.
