Course summary

This two-year integrative counselling and psychotherapy course, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), emphasises the integration of theory, research, therapeutic practice, and a commitment to self-awareness, to help you develop into a professionally qualified counsellor and psychotherapist that is safe, creative and ethically sound. The course has a long tradition of preparing students to be versatile and adaptable in their therapeutic practice, in order to meet the individual needs of different client groups and placement agencies.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy is designed to serve as a professional qualification for students seeking a career as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in the private, public and/or voluntary sectors.

The Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy course facilitates students in developing a critically analytical and evaluative understanding of integrative counselling and psychotherapy theory and practice, with a view to them developing their own coherent, ethical and effective approach to their own professional practice.

The course is underpinned by a relational integrative approach that reflects Person-Centred, Existential, Psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioural ways of working.

CAREERS

Although building the supervised practise hours to achieve BACP personal accreditation will require more therapeutic practice experience, having successfully completed the formal training hours and assignments, for both year 1 and 2 you will be ready to look for work in the field of Counselling and Psychotherapy and eligible for BACP personal professional registration.

Former students from the course have found positions in many settings within the NHS, Private Health Care Organisations, Local Authorities, the Voluntary Sector and in Private Practice.
