Counselling (Integrative) BA (Hons)

<strong>Please note - This course is currently under review and subject to validation. Please be aware modules may change</strong><br/><br/>Our integrative approach to counselling is a widely recognised counselling method. Developed over the past half-century, the model draws on a range <br/>of theories that explore how human beings develop as people, how personality and emotional challenges emerge, and how we each act in the light of universal experiences: freedom, death, guilt, anxiety. <br/><br/>The aim of integrative counselling is always to enable people to access their whole self and to move forward emotionally. <br/><br/>We prioritise three key things in training you as counsellors: the core practical skills of working with others through their issues and challenges; the theoretical concepts that will underpin your work; and self-reflexivity. Professionalism, in terms of the legal, practical, and ethical boundaries you will have to work within, is also of paramount importance.<br/><br/>You will be engaged in practical counselling skills development, first with your peers and then in your placement settings with real clients as your competencies expand. Throughout the programme, you will be asked to engage in a process of self-awareness that will support your learning and development during the course.
