Study Details: 1-2 Years
This course is an essential part of the Department of Health’s strategy to improve access to psychological therapies. It strives to be synonymous with the 2022 National Curriculum for the Education of Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners. Successful completion leads to qualification as a psychological wellbeing practitioner (PWP).
You must have a degree and be working in an NHS Talking Therapies, for anxiety and depression service. As part of the quality assurance process, services must meet the appropriate standards, and supervision must be provided by a qualified PWP supervisor.
Funded PWP trainee positions are advertised on NHS jobs by individual NHS Talking Therapies, for anxiety and depression services.
You can apply to self-fund the PWP course online, but these places are limited. You must be working within a NHS Talking Therapy service and some services offer voluntary contracts. Each service has different terms and conditions, but all provide PWP supervision. Interviews for these voluntary contracts are arranged by the course leader.
