    Hi all I don't think I'll study Counselling in September. I definitely will do so again but feel there's too much going on in my own life that needs ironing out.

    However I'd like to do a part-time course related to Counselling,so maybe Cognitive Psychology or C.B.T. . Does anyone know where I could do this?. The Open University is reorganising it's Psychology Dept so there's no Cognitive Psychology on offer until September of next year.

    Any alternatives?. Oscail maybe but that's not terribly well thought of.

    Thanks

    Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy are two completely different subjects.

    Cognitive Psychology is generally a module in a BA/BSc in Psychology.

    CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy) can be studied at post graduate level in Queens, TCD, and elsewhere. See BABCP for a list of recognised courses.

    JuliusCaesar makes a very important distinction there.

    You can do a masters in Cognitive Science in UCD. That would be purely academic though - it wouldn't qualify you as anything.
