Foundation Degree in Psychodynamic Counselling
BA (Hons) Counselling Studies (Top-Up) The programme enables students to deepen their understanding of Counselling theory and practice. The programme is designed to enable individual participants who have no first degree to gain a BA (Hons) in Counselling Studies. Counselling as a discipline is broad and continues to grow in reputation and in importance to diverse range of roles: education administration, community development, health and social care, early years practitioners, human resources and the voluntary sector. For its scope, the programme draws on educational aspects of Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy to give students the appreciation of counselling as a field of study. It is expected that students are practising counsellors or have relevant recent experience such as working in related professions. This course leads to a BA (Hons) Degree and enables progression on to Masters level. It does not give you qualified counsellor status.
Psychodynamic counselling is based on the belief that the past influences the present in ways that we are not always aware of. A psychodynamic counsellor will strive to help clients recognise the possible source of some of their issues e.g. unhelpful relationship patterns. This two-year Foundation Degree qualifies you to practice in a public practice and you will also be equipped to open your own private practice. The course will provide you with the necessary training in skills and theory to meet the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy requirements in those areas to accredit individual counsellors. It would then be your responsibility to seek individual accreditation. The course is psychodynamic in orientation with some consideration of the humanistic approach. To qualify you must have already completed a Level 3 Counselling course.
