Course content

The Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy programme develops the knowledge, skills and professional understanding needed to work therapeutically with individuals and communities. The training is practice-focused and prepares students for professional therapeutic work through an integrative model that brings together person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches.

Students learn through skills workshops, supervised practice, reflective groups and supported clinical placements. The programme supports the development of therapeutic skills, self-awareness and professional confidence while exploring both conscious and unconscious processes in therapeutic work.

The training includes supervised client work and personal therapy, enabling students to develop experience of therapeutic practice. Students also explore the use of research and digital tools to support ethical and evidence-based therapeutic practice, including online and telephone counselling.

Throughout the programme, students develop reflective practice, critical thinking and professional identity. The course emphasises working with diverse clients and engaging with complex clinical presentations in a professional and ethical manner.

The programme is professionally accredited and designed to meet the standards required for training in counselling and psychotherapy.
