Overview

The Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice program at Bath Spa University gives students an academic qualification alongside their professional counselling training. You can gain a Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits), Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits) or Master’s Award (180 credits) in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice. This is beneficial when applying for work as the qualification is nationally and internationally recognised.

All modules are completed through distance learning. Individual contact with a tutor is either face-to-face by telephone or through online tutorials. There'll also be webinars/online seminars available. Contact could be individual or in groups. You'll also have access to open seminars and workshops throughout the year.
