BSc (Hons) Psychological Counselling

London South Bank University, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

This course is the only one in the country to combine accreditation by the British Psychological Society with modules recognised by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB).

This course is, to our knowledge, the first in the UK, that teaches the core curriculum from a holistic perspective so students fully appreciate how different areas of psychology (biological, cognitive, individual differences, developmental, social conceptual and historical issues) integrate to facilitate greater understanding of human behaviour by exploring themes such as feelings, behaviour with others, thinking and communication and learning and memory.

For the counselling, we’ll cover ethics and theoretical approaches as well as applied modules to provide you with the skills to make a difference in people’s lives. Learning by doing increases self-awareness – that’s why learning through role play and group work is so effective.
