Course summary
This course provides the essential theoretical, clinical and research training for those wishing to work as a Counselling Psychologist.
Take a humanistic approach to reducing psychological distress and promoting the wellbeing of children, adolescents, adults, couples, families and other groups. As a graduate of this course you will be eligible to apply for registration as a Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This course is approved by the HCPC and accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).

The course aims to be inclusive and accessible, and recognises that training to be a counselling psychologist is an active, constructive and contextual process. The course is structured so that your knowledge and skills continually develop at each level. We assume prior knowledge of undergraduate psychology, but not counselling.
