About Us

The School of Psychology & Counselling has an established reputation and a long tradition of discipline-defining empirical, methodological and theoretical innovation. We seek to understand, transform and enrich the lives of individuals and communities through our commitment to social justice.

We work across disciplines and beyond traditional academic boundaries. Our research in social, cultural, applied cognitive psychology and the psychology of health and well-being, is distinctive for being theoretically informed but also rooted in everyday life; multi-perspectival and methodologically open; participatory and engaged with multiple publics.

Our work has received funding from a range of sources, including the European Union; the Economic and Social Research Council; the Centre for Policing Research and Learning and the National Institute for Health Research.
