Overview

Counselling psychologists support people with a range of mental health problems. They work as part of a team to understand the mental health diagnosis an individual is given, and support people by using medical and scientific context. They make decisions to support the individual, empower them to recover, and to minimise stress they may be experiencing.

The (Hons) Counselling Psychology with Integrated Foundation Year three-year course from University of Chichester allows you to develop your knowledge of counselling and advanced counselling skills, and gives you the opportunity to examine biological, cognitive, developmental, and individual differences alongside the social psychological principles underlying everyday experience and behaviour.

Career Prospects:

Counselling psychologists work as part of a team in a larger setting than private counsellors, and often work in health services or the NHS. If you choose to pursue a career in the health service, you could work with acute admissions, psychiatric intensive care, or rehabilitation.

Counselling psychologists may work with children, young people, adults, families, groups or at organisation level.

You could work in health centres, Improving Access to Psychology Therapist services (IAPT), community mental health teams, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), forensic settings, or education, research, or corporate institutions.
