Master of Science in Person-Centred Counselling
Program Overview
Our Person-Centred Counselling programmes is the starting point for a career providing life-changing therapy. Full-time or part-time, you can achieve and MSc, PgDip or PgCert allowing you to progress to your chosen career.
This programme is grounded in Carl Rogers’ theory of human potential, and training in this approach opens you to the self-knowledge needed to offer clients the deep connectedness at the heart of the therapeutic relationship.
Our full-time route allows you to complete an MSC in 18 months, with an option on the final 60 credits coming from either a Dissertation/Counselling Related Research Study, or a combination of a shorter Dissertation/Counselling Related Research Study and our Specialist Certificate for Counselling Children and Young People. Our part-time options give you more flexibility over 3 years for an MSc.
