If you do mental health nursing first you could do a post-graduate psychology degree later in a specific clinical subject that relates to an area of mental health practice that you would like to work in.
 
If you do a psychology degree first this would presumably be a general degree and not specific to health care, let alone mental health; I am not sure how you could use a general psychology degree later in a specific area of practice. I think you would need to study for a post-graduate degree specific to mental health later on. The mental health teaching team at the university will be able to advise you.
