The philosophy of the course is broadly grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The CBT approach has been supported by research evidence and advocated by professional bodies and government. CBT is based in cognitive and behavioural models of psychological disorder, and continues to evolve, resulting in an expanding range of interventions.
Aims of the programme:
* Enhance students ability to function as part of a flexible workforce, which is responsive to individuals with a variety of mental health disorders
* Enable the student to become a critically aware ‘consumer’ of approaches to intervention, able to evaluate the validity and quality of support claimed for a therapeutic intervention
* Offer students a means of extending confidence as an autonomous practitioner, able to demonstrate an advanced ability to function effectively as a therapeutic agent in complex care arenas
* Promote the students ability as a reflective practitioner, active in development of his or her own therapeutic skills
* Foster deeper understanding of operating therapeutically as part of teams and communities

Requirements
* Normally, an honours degree at 2.2 or above, preferably in an associated subject or equivalent professional qualifications
* A recognised Diploma in counselling or psychotherapy, or equivalent professional practice
* A counselling placement or present work within a counselling context
* International students must hold a qualification equivalent to a UK first or second class hours degree
* All international students for whom English is not their first language are required to achieve IELTS 6.5 or equivalency
* Any student who wishes to use their counselling practice with children or vulnerable adults, for their practice placement will have to have a current enhanced Criminal Records Check (CRB). Many placements will require students to have a current enhanced CRB irrespective of their client group. In either case students are responsible for funding their CRB check.
The programme is open to those already in counselling or psychotherapeutic practice and to those with the appropriate background who wish to develop competence or pursue a career in Cognitive Behavioural interventions.
Given that CBT training is emotionally as well as intellectually demanding, and that the research evidence identifies that a sustained therapeutic relationship is crucial to positive client outcomes, it is professionally and ethically important that due consideration is awarded to the readiness of the applicant to undertake these demands. With this in mind all prospective students are interviewed by two tutors and will participate in a number of reflective activities as part of this interviewing process.
In addition, candidates will be required to obtain satisfactory health clearance.
Admissions policy
The university is committed to widening participation to candidates from diverse backgrounds, abilities and ages. The programme is open to those already in counselling practice and to those with the appropriate background who wish to pursue a career in counselling
