MSc Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

Our MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy establishes an understanding of psychoanalytic-based theory and covers the technical processes of counseling while developing the personal and professional awareness required for effective practice as defined by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

By the end of the course, you will have the ability to work as a psychodynamic counselor or psychotherapist at an appropriate professional standard. You will understand, and know how to use, psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles to increase knowledge of theory and practice, personality development, and of the institutional and group influences on personal development.

You will possess high-level skills in thinking psychodynamically about counseling issues and making professional communications about counseling work, and display a capacity for self-reflection, especially knowledge of your inner world and how it impacts counseling work, and your role in groups and institutions.

This course benefits from group relations conferences as a way to explore the impact of group and organizational dynamics on individual behavior and experience.

General Eligibility

Our standard postgraduate entry requirement is a second-class honors degree (2:2 or above) or an equivalent international qualification.
