Course programme
Psychotherapy Practitioner Diploma
This is the post-MA professional qualification section of the training.
In this year students are concentrating on the development of their practice with individuals and groups whilst preparing qualifying work for final assessment, which leads to professional registration with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
The group functions as a clinical seminar, with the material generated by the students' clinical practice and interest.
It includes supervision of individual and group practice and study, discussion and debate of issues arising from and pertinent to practice. Students are encouraged to read widely in the psychotherapeutic literature, to inform and clarify the themes and challenges emerging from their practice and their development as psychotherapists.
Final Assessment
There are 2 pieces of work for final assessment:
- Module 5.1 An Individual Case Study including 2 audio recordings of sessions with the chosen client and accompanying written work of 6000-8000 words
- Module 5.2 A Group Case Study including setting up and running a group over 10 weeks that is observed by an assessor for 2 sessions. A case study of 5000-7000 words is submitted on completion of the group along with the assessor's evaluation.
Designated staff are available for support and guidance during the preparation of these pieces of final work.
