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 youll study the fields of counselling and psychotherapy.In addition to theory, youll 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. Youll learn through role-playing in pairs and small groups, listening, observing, and giving feedback to your peers.
