This program offers students the chance to enhance their counseling knowledge and abilities, particularly benefiting those pursuing a professional counseling career. Counseling serves as a verbal therapy with two key aspects: assisting individuals in managing emotional and relationship challenges, and fostering personal development. During the initial term, grounded in the reflective scientist-practitioner framework, students explore counseling theories and ethical principles while learning and practicing essential skills. As the course leads to a professional counseling qualification, much of the instruction involves hands-on learning, allowing students to refine their counseling techniques and integrate theory into practice. The curriculum primarily focuses on the person-centered approach, highlighting the significance of intersubjectivity and the therapeutic alliance. In the second term, students gain real-world experience as counseling trainees, study pertinent clinical research methodologies, and learn techniques for accurately evaluating client progress, including standardized assessment measures. After earning the PG Diploma in Counseling, graduates may apply for individual registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) upon completing required practice hours.
