Overview

This course has been specially designed to provide a thorough grounding in the growing professional disciplines relating to both mental health and counselling, with a greater focus on practical skills than Psychology degrees are able to offer. Through a mixture of online learning, face-to-face workshops, tutorials and placements, you’ll learn about specific disorders and the skills required to work with those suffering from poor mental health. You’ll also choose your own counselling or mental health topic for your final year research project, enabling you to pursue an area of particular interest to you.

Studying with us will offer plenty of opportunity to put your developing practical counselling skills into practice – you’ll have gained at least 100 hours of clinical experience by the time you graduate. You’ll also have gained the professional skills required for entering the workforce, as these are embedded throughout our curriculum to keep you up to date with the appropriate knowledge and information, setting you on the path for professional accreditation in counselling.
