What will I learn?

In this course we offer a practical approach to training suitable for new and advanced practitioners. You’ll explore the benefits of creative arts as therapy. See how to use drawing, painting, guided imagery, movement, drama, writing, poetry and sculpture. We offer a financial contribution of up to £1,200 towards the cost of personal therapy and clinical supervision. Our two-year psychotherapy and counselling Masters draws upon psychology, neuro-psychotherapy, neuroscience and biosciences to reflect the scientific content required in psychotherapy training. You’ll also look at developmental psychology, humanistic and attachment theories, and abnormal and clinical psychology. We’ll support you to work at emotional depth with people in psychological distress as you develop your practice. You’ll work with children, young people and adults in a series of work placements and experiences. Graduate with the expertise you need to pursue professional accreditation.
