What You Will Learn

During the Clinical Practice and Comparative Psychotherapy course, you will enjoy engrossing study that draws parallels and contrasts between different models of psychotherapy, consolidating your appreciation of these in a way that enhances your clinical application and flexibility. You will also take self-selected steps towards joining the wider environment of professional
