LEVEL 4 DIPLOMA IN THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING

Integrative counselling combines techniques from Clarkson’s Five Relationships model, drawing on Rogers’ Core Conditions, Gestalt, and Existential perspectives. Unlike eclectic approaches, it merges methods rather than keeping them separate. The two-year course is intensive and guided by expert tutors.

What does the course encompass?

100 hours of clinical placement
Peer and process groups
Advanced counselling techniques
Integration of counselling theory and practice
Enhanced self-awareness
Understanding of professional, organisational, and BACP ethical issues
Awareness of client diversity in theory and practice
Experience with counselling supervision
Tutor support and regular tutorials

This two-year, part-time programme involves attending the training centre one day a week, plus occasional weekends in the first year. Additional time is required for reading, assignments, personal therapy, supervision, and placement.

Assessments:
Assessment will include written work, a weekly journal, presentations, and observed practice.

Cost: 
The total cost for two years, including registration fees, is £5750.00. Payment consists of a £460 deposit followed by 23 monthly payments of £230 through standing order.

Additional Costs:
In addition to course fees, you are required to complete 50 hours of self-funded personal therapy over two years.  If your placement does not provide supervision, you are responsible for the costs to meet the minimum requirement of 1 hour every fortnight.

Some placements may require pre-client training, which could incur an additional fee.
