Course Overview

Teaching

Classes include interactive theoretical lectures, experiential workshops, personal development groups, role plays, skills groups, digital recording of skills sessions for assessment and presentations.

In addition, you will need to be in placement seeing ‘real’ clients for the duration of the course and will have to have completed a minimum of 100 hours counselling practice by the end of the two years. There is a BACP requirement that you should have fortnightly supervision for your counselling practice and a minimum of 1.5 hours of supervision per month.

The postgraduate diploma is taught over 30 days each academic year. For the 2019/20 academic year, the main teaching day will be on a Thursday, with one Wednesday, which is a joint teaching day with the second-year students.

In addition, students will be required to attend weekend workshops each academic year. In Year One, there is a residential weekend and a non-residential practice weekend. In year two, there are two non-residential weekends, which cover mental health and advanced practice issues.

We expect that students attend all teaching sessions, and there is a minimum requirement of 80% attendance in order to complete the course successfully.
