Course overview
Benefits of this course
You will blend a learning of theory and practice to build a strong academic base in counselling and psychology.
Together we focus on the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client, concentrating on the personal subjective experience of the whole person.
You will investigate person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural theories and use practical modes from case studies, interviews and personal diaries.
Your learning will emphasise the connection between psychological theory and counselling. We want you to understand how to effectively apply knowledge to ensure that you promote psychological development in practise.
