What unites us as a Unit are certain values which we aspire towards and which we believe are crucial in counselling/psychotherapy, in relating and throughout society:
The Counselling Unit offers the following courses. To view details of a specific course, select the appropriate course title from the menu on the left hand side or from the list below:
- Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Skills (PgCert)
- Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Skills - PG Certificate (D/deaf)
- Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling (PgDip)
- Masters in Counselling (MSc)
- Research Degrees
- PgD/MSc/Practitioner Doctorate in Counselling Psychology (subject to accreditation)
We recognise that these values will sometimes conflict with each other and with our context, but are committed to helping each other to approach such dilemmas in a thoughtful manner and to learning through dialogue and experience.
We hope to continue to develop the Unit as a centre of excellence for counselling/psychotherapy training, development and research. We do not, however, wish to restrict the activities of the Unit only to the field of counselling and psychotherapy. We believe that these values and ways of relating to self and others are potentially therapeutic wherever and however they are put into practice. We want to embody them within the Unit and for the Unit to take their development and implementation forward on many fronts and in many areas, within the limitations of our resources.
