Level 5 Psychotherapeutic Counselling

As a fully qualified counsellor, you may now be looking at establishing yourself in private practice or becoming a more senior counsellor within an agency or organisation. The in-depth study at this level will support your personal development and professional skills, getting you ready to move forward in your career as a counsellor. You will develop your integrative practice, assessment skills, business skills, and spend a year immersed in an advanced learning environment with like minded peers.

This course extends the understanding of the Relational Developmental approach of Richard Erskine, offering a chance to study this approach in depth, and is suitable for qualified counsellors from all modalities looking to support their clients through attuned meeting of relational needs in a deep therapeutic alliance.



Why to do this course:



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