Course Summary
MSc Advanced Psychotherapy and Counselling Studies offers psychotherapists and counsellors the opportunity to advance their knowledge, understanding, and skill in the theory, research, and practice of psychotherapy and counselling by engaging with the cutting edge of the discipline.
Students engage with advanced philosophical, psychological, and counselling theory underpinning practice, and they engage with contemporary research to support evidence-based practice. They also engage with advanced skills practice relating to relational depth, working with young people, and working with difference and diversity such as through engaging with gender, race, and sexual orientation considerations.
As professional development, the programme aims to support students in upskilling and advancing their knowledge, understanding, intellectual skills, and practical skills, and therefore improve the quality of their practice. Further, the consistent research focus throughout the programme will support students in preparing for postgraduate research opportunities such as a PhD.
What might you become?
This course aims to upskill those who are already trained in counselling and/or psychotherapy, to further develop your skills and knowledge for your existing practice.
The transferrable nature of counselling and psychotherapy theory and practice means that you might also use your advanced skills and knowledge in other helping professions.
The consistent research focus of the course also supports students who wish to go on to complete a PhD or professional doctorate.
An undergraduate degree (2:1 classification indicative) or postgraduate degree in a relevant area. Where the undergraduate degree has not included counselling training, a counselling qualification to Level 4 minimum will usually be required.
