Welcome to the course!! 

Please see the information below for some basic information about the module content and housekeeping. 

Module Rationale and Aims

This module provides theoretical knowledge in counselling psychology and psychotherapy. It integrates knowledge of developmental psychology across the lifespan with key theoretical perspectives. The unit develops knowledge and skills in planning interventions for a number of specific developmental issues that are addressed as exemplars of each stage of the lifespan.

We are lucky to have a number of guest lecturers and YSJ staff taking sessions and talking about their specific areas of expertise working with individuals across the lifespan.  

Specialist Lecturers include: Dr Emma Bradshaw, Dr Emily McGeown; and Dr Gemma Forshaw

Please see the Moodle information for each week for more details. 

Module Housekeeping

I've put some basic information about myself, as I am co-ordinating the module this Semester, as I should be the first port of call if you have any general queries about the module. Individual lecturers will also be happy to answer more specific questions about the content of their lecture, of course.
