BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling and Psychotherapy

Psychology is the science of the human mind and behaviour. How we think, behave and interact with the world around us.

Distressing experiences and emotional trauma can be devastating. It can affect every aspect of our lives, from our relationships with our families to our ability to cope at work.

And that’s where a counsellor or psychotherapist can help.

On this three-year course, some of the topics you might study include categories of illness and labels (such as anxiety or depression), how to work with people with different psychological difficulties such as eating disorders and chronic pain and the ethics of working therapeutically in mental health.

You’ll also explore topics from the influence of family, gender and culture on our development to memory recall and language, as well as how to analyse statistics in our computer labs.

Some of the therapeutic skills you’ll normally learn are acceptance, empathic listening, questioning techniques, how to develop practitioner resilience as well as how to observe a patient or client, how to use digital media to record, and how to give appropriate feedback. You’ll mostly learn through role play activities in pairs and small groups.

Our psychology courses are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
