I did a BSc.
It tends to be more research/science focused (i.e. lots of psychobiology, cognitive psych, a bit of neuroscience, practicals every week in your first two years for stats and three research projects for us). Nonetheless, it's not like they do not focus also on social psychology or therapies (although abnormal psychology and psychopathology could lean possibly more towards the medical/CBT side rather than counselling, for example). However, as most unis will make you pick your modules at some point through the degree, you can decide which field of psychology you'd like to focus on and maybe avoid the sciency stuff if you don't like it, or the less sciency stuff (I hated social and was definitely happy when I dropped it!)
As for the coursework, you do have stats labs and such, but it is very much of an essay based course and most of it it's about reading lots and coming up with your own ideas on X topic supporting your claims with experimental evidence etc (but then again, if you hate science you won't have the time of your life writing a psychobiology essay...however I don't think you can completely avoid biology even if you do a BA).
