Counseling psychology employs theory and research in therapy to assist clients who are dealing with difficult life issues and/or mental health issues. This degree's particular strength is the excellent communication skills and diversity awareness you will develop. Develop a broad understanding of all aspects of psychology, with an emphasis on reflective practice and person-centered communication skills. Excellent communication skills and an understanding of diversity are required if you want to train as a Clinical Psychologist, or counselor, or work in other roles that require these skills, such as sales and marketing. You'll be located in the Department of Psychology, where you'll have access to cutting-edge facilities as well as lectures from a variety of professionals in the field.
