Honours Bachelor of Counselling Psychology

Georgian College’s Honours Bachelor of Counselling Psychology program is designed for the student who has a desire to better understand human behaviour, and to use that to benefit others’ mental health.

Learners will be exposed to several counselling and psychotherapy approaches, plus get a solid foundation in psychology research and theory. From there, students will work in a practicum and work term, where they will get to experience first hand what it takes to work in an environment with others who are processing trauma. Georgian’s curriculum was intentionally designed for students to foster an understanding of the sociocultural factors that go into trauma, and how to best approach them in an ethical, evidence based method – plus research methods and psychological theories that inform counselling practices.
