Hey - I'm doing Psychology with Counselling at UoS and absolutely love it. It's a joint honours so it's a bit different to what you want to study, but I imagine the content is the same. Salford is a great uni and I've been there a while as this is my second degree. Can't rate them highly enough! Their pastoral support is second to none and the campus' are great. It's dead easy to get to from all over as there's a train station in the middle between two of the three campus' and there's good bus links to all over Greater Manchester.
Good luck, and I hope you get an offer!
