Counselling Studies MSc (Res)

The MSc by Research in Counselling Studies provides students with a comprehensive understanding of research design, data collection and data analysis for research in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.<br/><br/>It offers an advanced education to students interested in developing research skills, including qualified counselling and psychotherapy practitioners and social science researchers.<br/><br/>Counselling and psychotherapy specialise in qualitative, reflexive and critical approaches to research, and have particular expertise in practice-based research that draws directly on practitioners own therapeutic work, on the clients experience of therapy, and in narrative, reflexive and auto-ethnographic methods.<br/><br/>We are especially keen to encourage research concerned with the interface between counselling, psychotherapy and social, cultural and political life.
