Course summary
Provide therapeutic support to real life clients as you develop empathic listening abilities through the person centred experiential model of therapy on this MA Person Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy programme.
Learning through experience and developing emotion focused abilities is key. Practice experience will take place through our established network of providers and gives first-hand, supportive experience of working in this sector. Support will always be provided through supervision both from tutors on the programme and your individual external supervisor.
There will also be a focus and encouragement towards self awareness, exploration and personal development. A financial contribution of 拢600 is provided to support with your own individual therapy and an additional 拢600 is provided towards your external practice supervision.
With increased self awareness, emotional insight, empathic responsiveness, and relational competencies working alongside others in a helping relationship, you will have developed a range of transferable skills that are important in a range of careers. You may wish to work in a counselling-related profession within education, health, community, or other public and private sectors.
Please note that you will be required to become a student registered member of a professional membership organisation that holds an accredited register with the Professional Standards Authority; for example, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, at a cost to yourself. You will also be required to have suitable indemnity insurance in place for your clinical placement.
