Course Overview

Chester has a long-established national reputation for the provision of counselling education. We are linked to an exciting and cutting edge research community and the course is delivered by practitioners and researchers who draw on their own professional and academic expertise. We seek to ensure that our students have the best experience possible. The teaching is largely experiential with a strong practical component. This is enhanced by guest lecturers who bring in knowledge and skills from the wider professional and academic community.

The general principles of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework (2018) help to inform our Counselling Skills course. The course provides you with a chance to gain highly developed embedded counselling skills to help others and can provide the foundations for further therapeutic training for those who wish to continue onto professional counsellor qualification routes. It is a practical, reflective and academic course which combines theory with social and contextual considerations. You will learn about a range of counselling and therapeutic approaches, developing your self awareness and ability to communicate with people in an ethical, empathic and professional way. It is in our view a unique chance to study for a multidisciplinary degree with a strong practical and employable component.

The course develops strong skills and knowledge which are tranferrable to a wide range of occupations. Graduates may pursue careers and training in a range of areas such as education, the police force, prison work, social work, law and retail management. Graduates may also pursue further therapeutic training or academic research.
