Why study this course?
Completion of this course allows you to become a UKCP registered psychotherapist. It provides a comprehensive training in a broad base of skills and theories which will enable you to work with a wide range of clients. The Birmingham Newman psychotherapy course has a strong regional reputation and has been running as a professional-body accredited training for many years.
You must have a first degree in any subject (minimum classification 2:2) or equivalent. Applicants will usually have completed a face-to-face level 3 qualification in counselling skills. Those with a 1st degree, but without a level 3 qualification, are encouraged to apply for the Newman Introductory Certificate in Counselling and then, on successful completion, apply for the MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy. Applications will sometimes be considered from those who can demonstrate significant transferrable skills from using counselling skills in a workplace or voluntary setting.
Applicants who meet the criteria may be invited to demonstrate their personal and academic suitability for undertaking professional training at interview. This will usually take place on line.
Newman’s Record of Prior Learning (RPcL/RPel) policy can be applied to any applicants who consider they have qualifications or experience that may warrant them being granted exemption from elements of a particular course.
Applicants will need to obtain an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance prior to starting the course. For more information on your Enhanced DBS application please click here.
