Dear sir, 

Psychologists are professionals who provide counselling for a variety of problems and disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, relationship issues, exam-related anxiety and learning difficulties such as dyslexia. They can provide career guidance as well. Psychologists mainly work with hospitals, clinics, schools, colleges, universities, non-government organisations, defence establishments, and private companies. They can become consultants and practise independently, too. A counsellor in a school can also set up private practice at home if he or she has the time. Due to increased stress among employees in certain sectors, companies are known to empanel psychologists for confidential phone-in counselling services.

Your daughter can do her bachelor’s and master’s in psychology and/or a PG diploma in guidance and counselling. For better career prospects, she may do an MPhil and/or a PhD. To work in hospitals, she would be needing an MPhil/ PhD from national-level or international recognised institutes.
