Summary

An intensive foundation in counselling for those who meet elements of counselling in their day-to-day work, and who wish to enter this field professionally.

This programme will give students an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Psychodynamic Counselling if they currently lack sufficient experience and qualifications to study at a postgraduate diploma level.

The programme is taught by means of theoretical lectures, seminars, experiential workshops, and group tutorials. You’ll study key theoretical concepts that inform the practice of humanistic and psychodynamic counselling and will identify the specific responsibilities and processes of the counselling alliance.

The programme is particularly suitable for those who wish to apply to our MA in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
