I have a telephone interview on Monday morning at Salford University for psychotherapy and counselling BSC course. This thread is a few years old so I was wondering i anyone had any recent experience or tips on what sort of questions they ask and what they're looking for.I'm a mature student so don't have any support from school/college like most applicants

Telephone interview went ok. Very friendly interviewer made me feel comfortable. I'm currently a helpline counsellor but don't have a permanent contract. Love my job but need to have qualifications to apply for similar roles.Have a conditional offer now but as a mature student with no A levels have to pass MSAP exams to get in.Anyone out there have any advice on these?

Hey aw I’m glad it went well for you how did you get into telephone Counseling? Did you need to have initial qualifications I’m thinking forward to once I’m on the degree I will try to find a job that will put me in good stead with studying counselling what’s your view on it?

Look at volunteering. I was a volunteer counsellor at ChildLine for 8 years. All recruitment has been halted for the foreseeable future, however, once all this is over they will be looking for new volunteers. Maybe wait until you've settled into the course. They have a base at Salford Quays. They ask for a commitment of 4 hours a week for 40 weeks, there's a wide variety of shifts,daytime, evening, weekend and provide very good training. I found it really good experience.
