Course Overview

Work with real clients and apply your skills. Develop emotional and relational awareness. Discover how to practice within a person-centered experiential (PCE) model of therapy.

It’s important that you understand your own emotional development during your training. That’s why we provide you with £500 towards therapy in your first year, plus an additional £500 in years two and three for your individual external supervision.

You’ll develop excellent knowledge and practical skills, using research-informed and person-centered experiential models. From supervised sessions with clients to practice-based training, our expert staff will support you throughout your learning journey.

On successful completion of this degree, you will be professionally qualified as a counselor and psychotherapist. Whatever your next steps are, you’ll have the empathic listening abilities to help people and practice as a PCE therapist.
