Counselling and Psychotherapy Courses

Overview

Counselling and psychotherapy can empower individuals, families and groups to accomplish goals and overcome challenges and difficulties in their lives.

On our Counselling and Psychotherapy degree you will work with actual clients and specialise in a person-centred experiential mode of therapy. On successful completion of the programme you will be professionally qualified as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

We also offer a non-qualifying degree in Critical Approaches to Counselling and Psychotherapy. This course introduces you to different models of counselling, enables you to participate in personal development activities, and develops the empathic and groupwork skills needed for employment in the helping professions.

Open Days

A prospective student receives advice from a member of staff at an open day. If you are considering studying at Edge Hill University, the best way to gain an insight into the student experience is to discover our stunning campus for yourself by attending an open day.

You can tour the campus, including the halls of residence, with a student guide. There will also be opportunities to attend presentations and view subject facilities.

Alternatively, if you are unable to attend an open day, we offer a range of other events for prospective students, including monthly campus tours.
