Course content

Validated by the University of Essex and accredited by the Association of Family Therapy (AFT), this pre-qualifying course will deepen your understanding of systemic theory and practice – supporting your work with diverse families and organisations, and preparing you for clinical training.

During your foundation year, you'll be engaging in theoretical, experiential and interactional learning, reflecting on the unique contexts and dimensions of your work, and developing your skills as a clinical practitioner.
