Established in 2022, the Department of M.Sc. Counselling Psychology aims to nurture competent mental health professionals equipped to address diverse psychological needs in academic, clinical, and community settings. The programme blends academic rigor with practical training, enabling students to apply counselling theories and techniques effectively. Experienced faculty members guide students through a curriculum that emphasizes both professional competence and personal growth.

The department provides modern infrastructure, including a well-equipped Psychology Laboratory and two spacious classrooms fitted with projectors and boards to support interactive learning. Students gain experiential exposure through role plays, case discussions, and hands-on training in varied therapeutic approaches. Regular workshops, invited talks, and training programmes delivered by experts further enhance their skills. Mandatory internships and practicum experiences ensure real-world learning, while online platforms such as NPTEL and Coursera allow students to expand their knowledge base and acquire value-added certifications.

The department is also deeply committed to social responsibility, organizing counselling camps, awareness drives, and mental health sensitization programmes. Special observances such as World Mental Health Day foster leadership, advocacy, and creativity among students. With its strong focus on academic excellence, practical training, and community engagement, the department continues to prepare future counselling psychologists to contribute meaningfully to individual well-being and societal mental health.
