Counselling & Psychology Courses
 Have you ever dreamed of becoming a psychologist? This can be an exciting career choice with a wide variety of specialty areas and opportunities.
Psychologists are interested in how people think, feel and behave. They study this at an individual, group, organisational and community level. Psychologists apply this knowledge to assess, diagnose, prevent, and treat problems.
Psychologists use scientific methods to study the human mind and behaviour. They develop theories and test them, which provides new information that adds to the body of established knowledge.
Despite popular belief, most psychologists do not work mainly with people who are mentally ill. The majority help mentally healthy people find ways of functioning better, for example, training people to handle stress in the workplace.
Some of the areas in which psychologists work include:
Academic and applied research
Counselling or interviewing clients
Designing and implementing programmes to modify and improve behaviour
Evaluating the efficacy of psychological treatments or programmes
Assessment and treatment of psychological problems
Designing and administering a wide range of tests to assess and predict how people think, feel and perform.
