What opportunities will this course give me?
Counselling is a fulfilling, impactful and truly valuable career choice for anyone looking to support people through challenging periods in their life. One popular and respected modality of counselling is humanistic counselling.
Curated in collaboration with University of Portsmouth, the BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling teaches students how to deliver this person-centred counselling modality. Humanism is built on human freedom, dignity and potential. Humanistic counselling, therefore, aims to show empathy, warmth and genuineness, promoting clients to tap into their own self-understanding and psychological growth.
You will be taught through role-play, and learn about the ethical dilemmas, professional and legal issues that contribute to the sector. Delivered across two semesters - and taught from Eastleigh College - you will leave with a clear, actionable understanding of the benefit of humanistic counselling and how to safely deliver it to people from all backgrounds and experiences.
Why is this course for me?
We believe that the best type of education is one that is diverse and adheres to different learning styles; thats why the course has been created with a selection of theory, skills and personal development lessons. These are taught through individual and group projects, discussions and small research projects with an emphasis on experiential and student-centred learning.
You will be a part of an intimate group of students, creating a comfortable learning environment where you can excel. In addition, you will have access to University of Portsmouths huge suite of resources, as well as the opportunity to connect with the universitys community.
This Bachelors degree will give you the knowledge needed to apply for roles in health centres and therapy clinics, within the NHS, private hospitals, prisons and in the community. With experience, you could supervise other practitioners.
The course involves blended learning, meaning students have the opportunity to access lectures and activities at a time that works for them.
How will my learning be enhanced?
Alongside the abundance of resources available from the College and UoP, the course also includes a selection of workshops and guest speakers throughout the year.
You will be encouraged to continue with personal therapy throughout the course, as well as register for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) membership or other recognised professional bodies, both come at an additional cost, with therapy costing anywhere between £30-£70 per hour and BACP membership at £82 per year. Both will enormously benefit and enrich your learning experience, giving you first-hand experience of the world of humanistic counselling.
What do I need to sign up?
A counselling qualification at Level 5 plus proof of 100 counselling placement hours.
Applicants must pass Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before starting the course.
