Behavioral Sciences, Education and Languages. This year we celebrate 21 years
since the founding of the Centre for Psychology. We have over the years grown
from a small centre to having the largest psychology programme in the country.
The success of the psychology programme at HELP has given birth to similar
programmes offered by other private universities and colleges. We have helped
employers see the value of those with a degree in psychology as they recognize

mental health and wellbeing by producing hundreds of professional Counsellors
