OverviewThe Master of Science Program in Counselling Psychology established in 2014, is the first of its kind at the University of Kerala. Counselling Psychology focuses on personal and interpersonal functioning across the life span and on emotional, social, vocational, educational, health-related, developmental and organizational concerns. The program aims at equipping students with the knowledge, skills, attitude and professionalism to practice counselling in a wide range of settings with a high level of competence and compassion. Another area of focus of the department is in community outreach programs to create awareness on wellness and mental health.

Conducting research and working to improve mental health services and policies are other priority areas.
