About this course

Are you interested in person centred, psychodynamic and existential theories? Our part time PGDip/MA Integrative Psychotherapy gives you in-depth study of an integrative approach to practice.

  • Explore ideas, practice skills, and engage in supervised practice and personal development. Support your growth as a competent, compassionate, and creative practitioner.

  • You'll develop your understanding of psychotherapy models and methods, and apply them to practice. Your curiosity and self-awareness will support your capacity to work with diverse people. This could be in the public sector, voluntary sector, and/or private practice.

  • If you complete all the professional training associated with the postgraduate diploma (PGDip) you can exit with a PGDip Integrative Psychotherapy. You could also choose to continue on to complete the full master's degree. If you complete the Year 3 modules, you'll exit with an MA Integrative Psychotherapy.

  • This is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited course. If you complete the postgraduate diploma, you'll be eligible to join the BACP professional register.

  • The course runs one day per week: usually 9.30am - 5.00pm either Wednesday or Thursday depending on year of entry. There are also some Saturdays (as timetabled) in Year 1 and 2.

  • Timetabled activities are usually September - July each year. This means you can study whilst also meeting other commitments. You must attend at least 80% of all timetabled activities. You'll also need to complete significant personal study to support course completion.
