This course is held on 17 Thursdays between October 2022 and June 2023

(9.30 - 4.30)

This qualification is designed to give counsellors  the knowledge, skills and competencies to work as self-employed counsellors in independent practice. It also equips you to take on a senior counselling role in an organisational context where client assessment, referral and routine evaluation are part of the role.

At ICT the course is integrative, integrating our understanding and knowledge through the therapeutic relationship. As you will expect the course includes experiential learning as well as skills and theory. 

We aim to work with the interests of the students as well as the staff. 

Through our experience of running this course we have found it is important at this stage in your counselling career to begin looking at those areas that are of interest to you, or aspects of your practice that you are developing a specialism in.

There will be an opportunity to expand your knowledge and understanding around psychopathology and to undertake a small research study with your colleagues on the course.

Students will have access to trainers who specialise in humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy and CBT.
