Course Overview

BSc (Hons) Counselling for the Helping Professions prepares you for a wide range of roles that involve working with people. It's a degree in people skills. You'll learn how to support others, training to:

listen actively

empathize and demonstrate that empathy so that others feel heard and understood

be self-aware and reflective

communicate clearly and effectively with others

handle confidential information

work with emotions and emotional content

manage difficult and high-pressure situations relating to mental health

interpret, manage, and operate in stressful situations

think critically and use evidence to make decisions

facilitate behavior change

These are highly transferable skills that are invaluable in a wide range of helping professions.

You'll learn about the theory, research, and practice of counseling and associated subjects like psychology, with a particular interest in how these can be used to support other people. The degree covers a variety of theoretical perspectives - person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and strengths-based. In terms of research, counseling is an evidence-based profession. Teaching is evidence-based, and you'll learn how to interpret, critique, and apply analysis. You'll also know how to do research in the context of counseling.
