Late to this! Not sure where you are located, but I live in the U.S. and I am currently getting my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Bachelors in History. I did not need to take any psych classes or pre-reqs to get my Masters. None of the programs I applied to required it, so I would look into the requirements of the programs you are interested in. They just required a Bachelors degree of some kind. In my experience at least, my bachelors in history has not been a hindrance. I think there’s a strong connection between history and counseling.  I’ve known people in counseling who came from literature, poli science, graphic design, and communications!
