Description

 

 

 

 

These courses offer students a strong theoretical and practical base from which to begin their professional counselling practice, whilst working towards individual accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The theoretical orientation is Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with other approaches, such as Jungian and working with art materials. The courses include training in working with children and young adults. Students are encouraged to respect the frame and ethos of their core integrative training approach, but also to develop their own individual style and philosophy of counselling.

The Progression Route deepens the understanding of counselling theory and practice, and explores more specialist areas of counselling. Counsellors gain more understanding of client issues and how to work with them. They also benefit from interaction with counsellors from a variety of orientations and backgrounds, to mutual advantage.

These courses prepare students for careers as professional counsellors, subject to individual accreditation of the BACP.

Students are required to complete a minimum of 100 hours of one-to-one placement counselling for which they seek external supervision. They are also expected to undertake a minimum of 40 hours of personal therapy which should begin during their first semester.

For this course students will be assessed through assignments, including case notes and case studies of their placement work with clients. Additionally there will be observation of skills and appraisal of taped sessions. Students will also be required to keep a learning journal of all aspects of the course.
