Spring is a gentle reminder of the power of rebirth, growth and transformation. Perhaps you are thinking of a new career that makes use of skills you have gained from another area of work?
If you're thinking about your own career transformation – undertaking professional training to be a counsellor/psychological therapist – you may be interested in our Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychological Therapy.
Our Edinburgh-based diploma course is a formal, professional training course which equips students with the skills and capabilities to work as counsellors/psychological therapists in the field.
It is delivered on a part time basis over two years enabling students to work while studying.
This course is unique in that:
☑️ It has been created by practitioners working in the field with years of experience working in an education setting in addition to being practising therapists.
☑️ Our ethos reflects the pluralistic basis of First Psychology
☑️ We blend practice-based learning with contemporary theoretical developments. This ensures that what we offer is at the cutting edge in the field.
