It’s general questions, for example why do you want this make sure u understand the types of therapy and make it clear your an empathetic individual this will definitely help, nothing intestines so don’t worry, you may get asked about yourself like why this course as it can be emotionally challenging, and your strengths etc.

Hey, the interview was great!! You do a 20 minute discussion with the other people who are interviewing on the same day about a topic to do with counselling, then a writing piece about how you found the discussion (but make sure to include emotional stuff, they don’t want a step by step guide, they wanna know how you felt during the discussion), then you have your one to one interview with questions they let you know about ahead of time when you get your interview date. They let me know about whether I have been accepted or not on the same day, I’d say it took them about 4-5 hours ish, and I got in so I must have done alright 😂. It’s my first choice uni so I’ve put it as my firm choice on UCAS and booked my accommodation already. Good luck with your interview, let me know how it goes!!

Ah I see, well living close is certainly convenient. What date is it that you’re going for the offer holder day? Are you bringing your parents for the parents talk?
