Arden University’s BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling has been designed for those who want to study a degree in psychology and wish to work in counselling after graduation. It gives you eligibility to enrol on the British Psychological Society’s independent route to training as a counselling psychologist, and can support applications for a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology or other counselling/wellbeing related qualifications.

During your degree, you’ll study the major disciplines of psychology, such as social, cognitive, biological, and developmental psychology and research methods. Alongside this, you’ll cover counselling-specific topics, including counselling psychology, core counselling skills, health and psychological well-being, psychological assessment, and managing the therapeutic process.

The course takes a modern, person-centred approach, helping you develop the right tools and strategies for successfully improving the well-being of others in your future role. We provide our psychology students with access to an extensive and specialised support system to ensure they succeed, including one-to-one support from your tutors and networking opportunities.
