You will require a counseling qualification at Level 3 with a minimum of 48 UCAS points.
The BA (Hons) Integrative Counselling qualification aims to enable students to develop a seamless, yet fully aware and responsive approach to integrative counselling. The course provides an opportunity for you, as counselling students, to develop self-awareness and comprehensive counselling skills to practise competently as counsellors, helping vulnerable people in the community.
The Integrative Counselling programme responds to the changing climate of the counselling and psychology profession and the external environment. Many counsellors and therapists are drawn to a particular theoretical school of counselling as it reflects both personal and professional aspects of their own lives. Therefore, studying different approaches enables students to have the opportunity to discover which theoretical orientation they feel most affinity with.
