Hi, this is the questions for the Muslims out there.
I am studying a pgce in psychology and want to be a psychology sixth form teacher for 16-18 years not university level. I am aware that being a psychotherapist, therapist etc is harman and forbidden in Islam however Is it haram to be a psychology teacher in Islam aswell?

I am not sure what interpretation of Islam you are following, but I can think of a dozen Clinical Psychologists who are muslim who I have worked with. There is even a Muslim Counsellor and Psychotherapist Network for people from that background:

No it isn’t? Muslim scholars from the 9th century discovered talking therapy and created mental illness classification systems which are very similar today. Why would you think studying psychology is haram? There are plenty of Muslim psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists etc out there

That is Muslim scholars, I'm actually referring it to the rules of the Qur'an. What it says in the Quran is important.

It is incumbent on Muslims to seek knowledge, this includes self knowledge. Knowledge learned from psychology, therapy etc are beneficial for mental growth and also can help those who are struggling with spiritual growth.
