University of Central Lancashire
Counselling, Coaching and Psychological Interventions (Foundation Entry)
Course Summary
**Course Overview**
- On our Counselling, Coaching and Psychological Interventions Foundation Entry programme you’ll get to study three different approaches to the field: psychoanalytical, humanistic and cognitive behavioural.
- Foundation Entry 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 Entry 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.
**Why study with us**
- Counselling, Psychotherapy and Occupational Therapy at the University is 3rd in the North West for assessment and feedback, National Student Survey (NSS) 2019.
- 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.
