MSc Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy is a programme structured to equip students with all the necessary skills and knowledge to work in the field of psychotherapy as independent counsellors – psychotherapists of the integrative approach. Students are encouraged to develop their understanding of the theoretical, social, cultural and ideological contexts in which their clients perceive, confront and manage problems. They will also consider and analyse major trends and orientations within the integrative therapeutic work and develop their ability to identify and use appropriate sources of supervision within counselling practice. The programme has been designed by the University of Derby according to the criteria of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), so that students can apply for individual accreditation with the BACP, upon course completion. The theoretical training is complemented with a 300-hour supervised clinical placement and personal therapy.
