Course overview
This course provides a basic training in psychotherapy and counselling theory and skills.
It combines academic, practical and experiential components within a supportive and challenging environment.
As well as exploring the main therapeutic theories, you will examine philosophical and spiritual perspectives and cross-cultural approaches.
You will learn about the practical and ethical issues of working with clients in a variety of situations.
Two training options are available:
- A one-year certificate course
- An intensive certificate course, ranging from five weeks to three months in length
Why should I choose this programme?
The course combines theoretical and experiential components, with skills practice sessions and self-development group work.
