Yes, you are eligible to pursue a master's in psychology or related professional courses abroad, given your background in psychology.

In New Zealand, most universities require a bachelor's degree in psychology or a closely related field for admission to master's programs. Some may also set a minimum GPA or other academic criteria.

Entry requirements and intake periods can vary by university and program. Some specialized clinical programs may restrict eligibility to New Zealand or Australian citizens or permanent residents.
