Psychotherapy and Counselling, MSc

University of Greenwich

Make a career change into psychotherapy and counselling or enhance your professional practice with a part-time master’s degree in psychotherapy and counselling with flexible entry options.

Psychotherapists and Counsellors are essential to the mental wellbeing of a wide range of people in our society. Our psychotherapy and counselling master's will suit anyone with prior experience in a helping capacity (e.g. social services, nursing or education) who wishes to change career. It can also help you enhance your current professional practice with its insight into the theory and practice of counselling and psychotherapy.

You'll be taught by a team of clinical- and research-active experts, who will provide a range of psychotherapeutic techniques derived from Clarkson's integrative model of the therapeutic relationship (2003). You'll also learn to examine and reflect upon psychotherapy and counselling theory in relation to contextual and cultural issues. Graduates of this course will fulfil the training requirements for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) individual accreditation.

Please note that some of the course will be delivered online in order to prepare you for the possibility of completing some working across online and telephone platforms while completing the supervised practice requirements of the course.
