Course Summary
This degree is for those who have a passion for helping others through learning different models of counselling. It will introduce you to a variety of counselling practices and enable you to explore counselling and psychotherapy as a means of promoting social justice in an ethical context, with a key focus on community action. You will participate in personal development sessions to build your confidence, self-awareness and active listening skills, with £500 of funding to spend on your own personal therapy, while learning how to facilitate groupwork and preparing for establishing and leading a community-based support group. The programme has a focus on international perspectives of mental health and will equip you with the qualities and work-based skills needed to respond with empathy in a wide variety of roles supporting others, while encouraging your growth into a socially aware, politically engages and empathically-attuned graduate.
Please note, while this programme provides ideal preparation for postgraduate counselling and psychotherapy practitioner training, it does not confer professional qualification as a counsellor or psychotherapist. If you wish to gain accreditation as part of your undergraduate course, you should consider our BA (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy degree.
