About this course

The course will involve a comprehensive study of Carl Rogers’ theory and practice contextualised in a range of key paradigms. Students have the opportunity to work with clients through the counselling service with clinical supervision provided. The course is also validated by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and will enable students to apply for accreditation after further work with clients. This course is made up of two levels: The Certificate in Higher Education which is studied in year one, and the Diploma which is studied in year two. College-based learning makes up much of the programme and, in addition, clinical work and supervision are arranged on an individual basis, and take place on a non- College day. This programme is delivered through classroom based activity, guided assignment work, seminars, workshops, experiential and client work. There will also be individual and group supervision, supporting candidates in their counselling work.
