Counselling Studies (PhD) PhD

This PhD programme is an advanced research degree enabling you to conduct in-depth independent research on a topic of your choice, thereby making a significant and original contribution to knowledge in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.<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.
