Couples counselling course

Develop your existing counselling skills further in the couples counselling diploma course. This is an intense, experiential course providing students with a further understanding of issues relating to various couple work scenarios and same sex relationships. This course is recognised by the Couples Counselling Network but is not an accredited BACP or UKCP course. However, in September 2016, we were asked to speak at the BACP Private Practice Conference, "Relationships ... why bother" the content of which will be published in their December 2016 publication of Private Practice magazine.

This course (one week module), develops the core principles of couples counselling through both theory and experiential exercises. To then complete your qualification for this course one case study must be undertaken with a minimum of three sessions within a six month period of the course end date, however, due to different students ability and experience more sessions may be required to demonstrate your competence. The case study is to be prepared into a one hour presentation, presented in whatever format you choose to your tutors. We give a detailed outline as to the requirements of your case study on the course itself.

We have found that the smaller groups are the most effective and we are now limiting the numbers to six students. Therefore it is advisable to book on the course as soon as possible. If you are too late then you will be placed on the waiting list and if numbers are sufficient we will facilitate an extra course between Spring and Autumn.
