Course Overview

Many of our graduates go on to combine counselling and psychotherapy with their existing professions, such as nursing or education. Some continue to work in a voluntary capacity to build sufficient supervised client hours to join the advanced category of individual BACP accreditation, while others are set up in private practice.

Our graduates are highly sought after by employers within the region, many of whom are closely associated with the course as practice providers or supervisors.

Many of our graduates have gone on to hold positions of responsibility as counsellors or psychotherapists within the NHS and voluntary bodies, and some have returned to us to undertake PhD research or teaching.

General Eligibility

A bachelor's degree with a 2:1 (Hons) in any subject or other proof of your ability to study at Masters's level.

Proof of counselling skills. It’s essential that students have already completed a level 3 certificate in counselling skills or equivalent, so we can assume this level of practice and knowledge of the professional context of counselling. The level 3 course or equivalent should include 20-50 hours of practice with other students and tutor feedback.

Two satisfactory references, one of which must normally be an academic reference.

A level of maturity associated with a personal reflection on a variety of adult and childhood experiences and developed interpersonal skills, to be assessed at interview.
