Traumatic experiences, prolonged suffering and developmental or existential crises can have a lasting impact on our psychological and physical health. This distress may present itself in many ways for example, as relationship difficulties, as problems with food and eating or as feelings of depression and anxiety. Counselling and psychotherapy are terms for a wide variety of evidence-based talking and listening approaches that apply established theories to promote psychological change. Our course also covers all core elements of psychological study as required by the British Psychological Society (BPS), from lifespan development and research methods to social, biological, and cognitive psychology. Alongside the main discipline of psychology, each year of this course offers specialist units where you’ll study the fields of counselling and psychotherapy. In addition to theory, you’ll also learn basic practical counselling skills. Some of these skills may include how to offer acceptance, empathic listening, questioning techniques and how to develop practitioner resilience. You’ll learn through role-playing in pairs and small groups, listening, observing, and giving feedback to your peers.Career prospectsAs a psychology graduate there are many career paths available to you. You may decide to continue in the therapeutic fields of psychology and pursue further training and qualifications in professional psychology or counselling and psychotherapy. However, you many decide to move into a completely different area of psychology such as health or sports and exercise psychology. Although you will have specialised in counselling and psychotherapy this does not foreclose the opportunity for you to move into other fields of applied psychological practice.If at the end of your degree, you decide that a psychology related career is not for you, then you will still have many excellent transferrable skills to take to other settings including education, business, law and the corporate sector.Graduating with a 2:2 honours classification or higher, and passing your dissertation project, you’ll be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) from the British Psychological Society (BPS). This is the first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist.
