This Could Lead to

Counselling is a career that has long held an important place in society; but now, more than ever, the need for this valuable service is not a ‘nice to have’, but a necessity. One incredibly impactful modality of counselling is gestalt counselling. Curated in collaboration with the University of Portsmouth, the BSc (Hons) in Gestalt Counselling teaches students how to use this form of counselling to empower change processes when working with individuals, couples, groups, teams and organisations. You will also learn how to use gestalt counselling as a highly effective way of treating a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, addiction, tension and depression. You will be taught through role-play, and learn about the ethical dilemmas, professional and legal issues that contribute to the world of counselling. Delivered across two semesters – and taught from Eastleigh College – you will leave with a strong and confident understanding of the benefit of gestalt counselling and how to safely deliver it to people from all backgrounds and experiences.
