Traumatic experiences, prolonged suffering and developmental or existential crises can have a lasting impact on our psychological and physical health.This distress may present itself in many ways for example, as relationship difficulties, as problems with food and eating and as feelings of depression and anxiety.
Counselling and psychotherapy are terms for a wide variety of evidence-based talking and listening approaches which apply established theories to promote psychological change.
Alongside the main discipline of Psychology, each year of this course offers specialist units where you’ll study the fields of counselling and psychotherapy.
Our course also covers all core elements of psychological study as required by the British Psychological Society (BPS), from lifespan development, neuropsychology, and research methods, to social and critical, and abnormal psychology.
In addition to theory, you’ll also learn basic practical counselling skills. Some of these skills may include how to offer acceptance, empathic listening, questioning techniques and how to develop practitioner resilience. You’ll mostly learn through role play in pairs and small groups, listening, observing and giving feedback to your peers.
Our degree courses are accredited by the British Psychological Society.
