Family systems perspectives on theory and practice have been rapidly developing across a wide range of professional disciplines and practice contexts. If you work with adults, children, couples or within the family healthcare field, this is your opportunity to further your knowledge and develop the skills to practice therapeutically at a specialised and advanced level using systemic theoretical frameworks.
This award integrates taught clinical practice, theory, personal development and research. It forms Years Three to Four of The Family Institute’s psychotherapy training programme and builds on the Institute’s long experience of teaching psychotherapy. It is designed to meet UKCP, UK Association for Family Therapy and European training standards. The Care Council for Wales has accredited this course for the Advanced Award in Social Work. Following successful completion, graduates are eligible for registration as a psychotherapist with the UKCP. As a result, you can seek employment in statutory agencies such as the NHS, social care, voluntary agencies or work within a private practice.
