Yes, students can generally open multiple accounts in the bank as there is no restyriction from the banks for the same. Students can even multiple accounts with the same bank, given that they are eligible for the same.
Many students use a traditional high-street bank (like Lloyds or HSBC) to have their student loanor salary paid into these accounts and to pay major bills. However, students often use a digital bank (like Monzo or Revolut) for daily spending, travel, and budgeting. Having multiple accounts does not harm the credit rating of the students as long as they are managed responsibly.

Yes, but typically Indian Clinical Psychology degrees won't be straight across in a country like the UK or USA. You typically have to do extra courses, practicum/supervision or licensing exams in other countries as well.
Every country has their own requirements for psychology professionals. Getting experience internationally, doing a PhD that is recognised abroad or passing exams like the GRE Psychology Subject Test could all definitely help enhance your chances.
