Counselling is a type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their problems and feelings in a confidential and dependable environment. A counsellor is trained to listen with empathy and to understand the problems of the patient. They try to help deal with any negative thoughts and feelings. Counselling is good for those who want to study a medical subject, but who can’t quite carry out the cold, professional distance needed to be a doctor or nurse.

This course provides a balance between academic work, skills development, professional practice, and individual personal development and self-awareness.
