Course summary

If youre committed to a career as a qualified systemic psychotherapist, or are a professional who wants to develop skills in working systemically with individuals, couples and families, our postgraduate certificate is your first step. Study flexibly over two years in Huntingdon, around your work commitments.

Our PG Cert is the first two years of a four-year qualification for family and systemic psychotherapy. (Year 1 is often known as the Foundation level and Year 2 as Intermediate level.) This PG Cert provides access to the final two years of study which is the Masters programme (sometimes called ''Qualifying level'').

Made up of two modules, our course is accredited by the Association of Family Therapy (AFT), so you can be confident that youre developing skills that are up-to-date and relevant for a career in family psychotherapy. Each module can be studied alone as part of your continued professional development, or they can be combined as you work towards your full training to become a qualified systemic (family) psychotherapist.

To comply with AFTs requirements, the course is extended to complete in early July.

Our course is suitable whatever client groups you work with, and will build on your knowledge, beliefs and experiences within your own work context. Youll develop a deep understanding of systemic thinking and practice and how to put this into practice with clients and families, exploring a range of presenting problems and contexts spanning the lifecycle from birth to old age.

Teaching takes place in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, at the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Newtown Centre on Nursery Road. Find out more about CAMHS at the Newtown Centre.

Careers
By successfully completing your PG Cert youll be able to continue your studies to the completion of your MSc, which will then allow you to register as a family and systemic psychotherapist. Youll also be able to refer to yourself as a systemic practitioner, which will be a significant addition to your professional portfolio.

Our course is taught at a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Unit in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, and we have strong links with the local mental health trust, allowing you to come into contact with a wide range of professionals already working in family psychotherapy.
