Do you want to make a meaningful difference to people’s mental health and wellbeing? Could you build the skills to support others through complex life experiences with confidence and compassion? Learn to understand human behaviour, emotion, and relationships at a deeper level on our BSc (Hons) Counselling and Mental Health course, while developing the practical skills needed for real-world counselling. Engage with advanced theory, current research, and ethical practice, and apply them in ways that centre the needs, experiences, and identities of the people you support. Develop an integrative, trauma-informed approach that helps you respond effectively to diverse clients and settings. Explore embodied and relational ways of working, and experiment with emerging approaches such as online and creative therapies. Strengthen your voice through applied research as you design and complete your own dissertation project. Build the confidence, awareness, and professional competence to move into roles across counselling, wellbeing, and mental health services, or continue your journey through professional accreditation or postgraduate study. Study in a flexible, blended format that fits around your life. Learn from wherever you are, reduce financial pressure, and balance your studies with your existing commitments.
