Course summary
- On our Counselling and Psychotherapy with Foundation Year programme you’ll get to study three different approaches to the field: psychoanalytical, humanistic and cognitive behavioural.
- Foundation Year degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an Honours programme. It’s entirely unique, and a great stepping stone to degree study.
- You’ll consider what counselling and psychotherapy actually are, and be introduced to the three major theories that underpin counselling and psychotherapy work in today's society.
- During your Foundation Year, you’ll study alongside peers from related courses, so you’ll gain a broad introduction to social care.
- We focus on teaching the interpersonal skills common to counselling situations and experiential learning.
- All our course facilitators operate within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework.
- You’ll complete a year placement, which will help you to prepare for work in the field of counselling.
- Working together for patients
- Respect and dignity
- Commitment to quality of care
- Compassion
- Improving lives
- Everyone counts
- As part of the course you will have the opportunity to hear about the experiences of service users, carers, patients and public members via our community engagement and service user support groups (Comensus).
