The BA (Hons) Integrative Counselling is a three-year course validated by Bath Spa University.

It is designed to enhance skills and knowledge with particular reference to employment and the development of specialist areas of interest. The core integrative model (Humanistic/Psychodynamic/Cognitive-Behavioural) is built upon Clarkson’s relationship model and ongoing evaluation. It draws on a range of theories which help us to understand how human beings develop, how personality and emotional challenges emerge, and how we act in the face of universal issues of our existence. The aim of integrative counselling is to enable access to our whole self and treat the person as a whole.
