Overview
Based on the relational psychodynamic perspective, coupled with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, this Counselling Psychology course from University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) is designed to help you develop an integrative perspective based on these perspectives and any previous experience.
For example, you may already have studied client-centred or existential perspectives as part of counselling certificate courses. The programme team is committed to the view that the therapeutic relationship is a key factor in promoting client change.
Careers / Further study
Students completing this course successfully are in a great position to become counselling psychologists and therapists in a wide range of roles in the private, public and third sectors. In fact, the vast majority of recent graduates have secured positions before they complete the qualification, based on their four to five years of placement experience.
