With a bachelor in Philosophy could I still get a Master/PhD in Psychology and practice Psychology?
I wanted to know if I could get a master/PhD in Psychology with a bachelor in Philosophy and practice as a Psychologist? Or do you need a bachelor in Psychology to pursue that career?

Yes. I had a BA in English and now I am working on a MA in Psychology. You need to find a program and see what classes are a prerequisite for the program. Take those classes and start your MA in Psy.

Yes, you can definitely pursue a masters or PhD in psychology with a degree in philosophy. In fact, depending on your particular interests in philosophy (e.g. consciousness, mental causation, motivation, etc.) it can be very complementary to graduate study in psychology. One thing you should keep in mind, however, is that graduate programs in psychology often require you to take an exam that demonstrates a broad understanding of issues in psychology-- much of which will not be covered during the course of your philosophy degree. You might simply have to study for this exam a little more than those who majored in psychology.
