Counselling and Psychotherapy (Professional Practice) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Human relationships are at the heart of almost every aspect of our personal and working lives. Training to be a professional counsellor develops your understanding of effective relationships and enables you to help people who are struggling with themselves or with others to find their own ways to transform their situation.

This course offers you the opportunity to graduate as a highly skilled professional counsellor, with many exciting and rewarding career paths open to you.  The course meets the training requirements for professional registration with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), and opens the progression route to individual BACP accreditation.

The course is structured around modules that deliver professional training components, and that broaden and deepen your understanding of counselling-related issues.  You will develop your competence in working with the person-centred counselling approach, and you will develop a wide range of professional skills, including communication, reflective practice and self-awareness, research skills, mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). 

You will further develop your understanding and skills under integrated supervision by undertaking a placement.
