Ans: Hello Ritesh. Thank you for connecting with us. It is understandable that you are concerned about your daughter’s future early on. Let me tell you that pursuing a degree in Psychology and a PG in clinical psychology is a viable option. After her master’s degree or as an alternate to a master’s degree, she can consider pursuing specialised courses in cognitive-behavioural therapy, family therapy, or other areas of interest within clinical psychology. Also, there are certificate programmes in areas like cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychotherapy, etc. that can significantly enhance her career prospects. Coming to the job, let me tell you that we do not deal with job assistance yet. But surely we can guide her regarding a bachelor’s or a master’s programme for overseas education.
