Guidance on pursuing psychology as a career

Hi everyone! I’m Akanksha, and I’m excited to be here. I’m a trained listener with a deep interest in mental health and psychology.  I hold a Master’s degree in International Luxury Marketing, but over time, I’ve realized that I truly want to pursue psychology as a career.

I would love to hear from those of you who have experience in this field:

• How did you get started?

• What first steps would you recommend for someone looking to transition into psychology/counselling?

• Any resources, courses, or pathways you’d suggest exploring?

I’m really looking forward to learning from this community and connecting with like-minded people.
