UndergraduateCourse summary
This degree is for those looking to enter a career in counselling and psychotherapy, either in an environment which offers counselling or one which encompasses the emotional and psychological wellbeing of others. You will develop in-depth knowledge and clinical capabilities as you train to become a highly effective therapist. You will gain a critical understanding of the theories, policies and practice of counselling and psychotherapy and specialise in a research-informed and person-centred experiential model of therapy. Our highly experienced tutors will expertly support you throughout the programme, from gaining introductory counselling skills to undertaking professional counselling practice with actual clients. Successful completion of this degree will enable you to practice as a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. Please note, if you would like to discover different models of counselling, participate in personal development groups and develop the work-based skills and empathy needed for employment in the helping professions without gaining professional qualification as a counsellor, you should consider our BSc (Hons) Critical Approaches to Counselling & Psychotherapy degree.
