BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling and Mental Health

Our BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling and Mental Health has been designed for those who want to study a degree in psychology and wish to work in counselling after graduation. It gives you eligibility to enrol on the British Psychological Society’s independent route to training as a counselling psychologist, and can support applications for a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology or other counselling/wellbeing related qualifications. Counselling and mental health take a person-centred approach, helping individuals explore their experiences and develop strategies to improve wellbeing. Professionals in these fields work across a variety of settings, including the NHS, schools, charities, youth and community services, and private practice. You’ll cover the full psychology curriculum-social, cognitive, biological, developmental, and research methods-alongside specialist modules such as Counselling Psychology, Mental Health and Illness, Personality and Intelligence, Approaches to Counselling, Health and Psychological Wellbeing, and Managing the Therapeutic Process. Studying this specialised undergraduate counselling and mental health course with Arden will provide you with multiple future career and study options. You’ll have access to modern, digital learning tools as you study and you’ll also have full support from our dedicated academic team, who are internationally respected industry practitioners, published authors and PhD holders in the field of psychology.
