Summary
This Level 6 bridging programme provides a foundation for students wishing to progress to postgraduate psychotherapy training. It introduces key humanistic principles, integrative theory, and reflective practice, supporting students to develop the personal insight and theoretical understanding necessary for advanced therapeutic study.
The Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy Studies (UKCP preparatory year) is designed to help students 'find their modality' – developing an informed awareness of the different approaches to psychotherapy and counselling available at Metanoia Institute. Through experiential and theoretical learning, participants gain clarity on their professional direction and readiness for postgraduate-level study.
Course philosophy The programme emphasises experiential learning, reflective practice, and personal growth within an integrative humanistic framework. It encourages students to explore their relational style and therapeutic identity while grounding their learning in theory and ethical awareness.
Teaching and learning Teaching takes place through weekend sessions that combine experiential group work, theoretical lectures, and counselling skills practice. Reflective discussions are central to the learning process, helping students connect their personal experiences with broader therapeutic concepts.
Assessment Students are assessed through reflective journals, written assignments, practical evaluations, and multimedia portfolio-based work, allowing for a holistic demonstration of learning and self-development.
Clinical and experiential work While there is no formal placement requirement, experiential exercises and skills practice are integrated throughout the programme to help students apply theory to practice in a supported environment.
Career pathways Successful completion of the Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy Studies (UKCP preparatory year) enables students to progress to MSc-level psychotherapy training at Metanoia Institute, including pathways such as Integrative, Humanistic, Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.
Programme delivery This part-time programme is structured for weekend study over one year, with a September intake. It is designed to prepare students for postgraduate modalities. An evening option is also available, with classes held one evening per week throughout the full academic year.
