If we still have spaces available after the current interview round, we will open a new application window in mid-April 2024.**<br/><br/>This long-established and hugely popular course is fully accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).<br/><br/>It is designed to provide training in an integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy. It will enable you to develop your own synthesis within a framework which is not tied to a particular theoretical school or perspective. 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.<br/><br/>Typically, students on this course will have first degrees in other subjects, and they may be employed either part-time or full-time. <br/><br/>You may be working in health, social care or education - but you dont have to be.<br/><br/>This course (two years for the Diploma) is ideally suited to those with a part-time job, although it can also work for those with full-time commitments. The basis of study for the Postgraduate Diploma is one afternoon/evening per week.<br/><br/>The two-year Postgraduate Diploma allows you to practice as a BACP registered counsellor. Completion of the diploma confers automatic entry to the MA Counselling and Psychotherapy final year which is a popular choice for our students. (Only the Masters is eligible for a student loan from SFE.)<br/><br/>The Postgraduate Diploma entails completing 100 hours of supervised work, which will be undertaken on a placement which you have to secure for yourself. However, the School has established links with many agencies and practices where our students have worked over the years.<br/><br/>You may take these skills back into your workplace, use them for a change of career, or develop your own specialist practice.
