Course Overview

Counseling Psychology brings together psychological theory, research, and therapeutic practice with an emphasis on personal development. This course will provide you with an understanding of all core areas of psychology with an added emphasis on ways in which psychological theories of personality and relationship formation contribute to the understanding of mental health and the practice of counseling psychology. At Worcester, our courses have been designed to develop you as the psychologist of the future. From innovative and career-focused assessments to understanding the challenges global societies will face in the future, your course will equip you with the skills and aptitude to make a difference. Whatever your course (business, clinical, counseling, forensic, psychology, or sport and exercise psychology), you will be taught by specialist practitioners whose work is underpinned by contemporary research. All courses are also accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), putting you in a great position when you're starting your career.

You can also take part in workshops devoted to CV writing, interview skills, recruitment, and assessment techniques. And you'll have the chance to talk to guest speakers and visit potential employers - as well as get help to apply for work and postgraduate study.
