  • A minimum of a 2:1 or equivalent at undergraduate level. Applicants with a 2:2 may be considered if there is evidence of subsequent higher academic achievement, such as having a relevant master’s or doctorate (e.g. in psychology, social sciences or mental health).
  • An International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of at least 7 with no element below 6.5 for applicants for whom English is not their first language.
  • Work experience in an emotionally demanding helper role that involves using counselling skills to provide face-to-face support to people experiencing psychological distress or mental health problems. This needs to be more in-depth than befriending, helpline work, shadowing or observing, for example, working as an assistant psychologist, wellbeing practitioner, support worker, counsellor or trained healthcare professional. Work experience can be gained in an employed or voluntary capacity but should consist of at least 6-12 months of continuous experience, prior to application, and working at least half a day per week in a relevant setting.
  • A basic training in counselling skills and theory, for example, a short intensive certificate or diploma course. This may not be required if an applicant demonstrates significant relevant work experience, knowledge and in-house training.
