Our MPhil/PhD in Counselling is an opportunity for practising counsellors/psychotherapists to develop their research knowledge and skills by conducting a substantial practice-based research study related to the process or outcome of counselling. We specialise in person-centred-experiential therapy and have our own research clinic that offers the opportunity to access our substantial data archive or to conduct new data collection. You can study an MPhil in Counselling with us over one year, or a PhD over three years, with the option of studying on a part-time basis. Research areas: developing the theory underpinning person-centred-experiential therapy through empirical research, investigating counselling outcome according to a range of variables and through a variety of methods, exploring counselling process through a variety of methods, including systematic case studies, measure development (e.g. Strathclyde Inventory, Therapeutic Relationship Scale).
Our MPhil and PhD students are usually practising counsellors or psychotherapists who have completed professional training at postgraduate level (PgDip or MSc) and hold a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent.
