About this course

Our Foundation Degree in Counselling aims to create a transformative journey designed to empower students to pursue life-changing careers in counselling.

The course is taught at Bede Campus, where students have access to a range of facilities to support them on their academic journey.

Due to the wide variety of programmes that are delivered at the college, counselling students are in a unique position to engage in cross-faculty projects that are aimed at elevating the educational experience and creating an inclusive community dynamic across the college.

The programme adopts a robust theoretical foundation and places equal priority on skills practice and industry expertise development. Industry standards and expectations are at the forefront of our teaching approach, with recognition that counselling is explorative and growth orientated in nature.

We adopt a person-centred approach in our teaching style. Student voice and individuality is encouraged and promoted. We aim to facilitate a safe learning environment, where learners can build the confidence, skills and determination to not just exceed in the counselling industry, but to elevate it.

On successful completion of the programme, students will be awarded a Foundation Degree in Counselling, validated by the University of Hull.
