Speciality


Additional information

You’ll be taught through interactive lectures and seminars, experiential skills workshops, small clinical supervision groups, and personal development work.

Our teaching includes life-span developmental theories, therapeutic skills practice in small groups, supervision of client work in small groups, critical analysis of approaches and research into counselling and psychotherapy.

Much of your learning will be a reflection on your experience of skills practiced and the use of demonstration, observation, self, peer and tutor feedback as well as a more traditional academic study.
