Course content

Psychotherapy and Counselling, offered as a part time MSc with a clinical placement, will provide you with in-depth clinical training. Join Warwick's Centre for Lifelong Learning and work with field experts as you develop psychotherapeutic and counselling skills.

The course will provide an in-depth clinical training which integrates theory and best practice from a suitable range of psychotherapeutic and counselling approaches, framed distinctively by a holistic view of the self and human experience. The course will include a supervised clinical placement which requires a minimum of 100 hours of therapeutic client work during the master’s programme, as well as a balance of teaching and learning in theory, professional knowledge and individual development.

Both the Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor routes are accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
