Summary
This long-established and hugely popular course is fully accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Students take an independent study approach, supported by individual academic supervision and online workshops on research methodology. We follow current research into what actually works in counselling and psychotherapy, which means we use an integrative approach, employing a variety of techniques to respond to the needs and preferences of individual clients. Our part-time delivery is ideal for those with a part-time job or other life commitments. Please note, we offer this course with a January and September start date.

These additional 60 credits will give you the full award of an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
September
Our September intake is for the full award of an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy with advanced standing of 180 credits. This includes a PGDip which is delivered one afternoon/evening per week followed by a final MA year which can be carried out at a distance.
