Counselling (R86) BSc (Hons)

This counselling degree offers training to meet SCoPEd framework Therapist A- and B-level competences. If you’re new to counselling, you’ll start with a counselling course delivered by an external provider. You’ll then complete SCoPEd Therapist B level training by studying OU modules and incorporating client hours and practice-based learning. For practitioners who already have SCoPEd ‘Therapist A’ level competences, the qualification allows you to top up and advance directly to SCoPEd ‘Therapist B’ competency level. No matter your starting point, by the end of the course, which includes the completion of 150 supervised client hours, you’ll have significantly advanced your practice competencies, equipping you to work with clients with more complex mental health needs.<br/><br/>**Key features of this course**<br/>- Developed in consultation with counselling awarding bodies<br/><br/><br/>- Designed to meet Therapist B competences of the SCoPEd framework<br/><br/><br/>- Allows you to use counselling training previously completed and continuous professional development experience.<br/><br/><br/>- Choice of specialisms to suit your interests or professional needs.<br/><br/><br/>- Equips you to work with clients who are in need of counselling support and mental health counselling.<br/>
