Independent Counselling Training

This qualification is designed to give counsellors the knowledge, skills and competencies to work as counsellors in independent practice. 

It also equips you to take on a senior counselling role in an organisational context where client assessment, referral and routine evaluation are part of the role.

At ICT the Level 5 is integrative with the relationship as the integrating factor. 

Students will have access to trainers who specialise in both psychodynamic therapy and CBT.

There will be an opportunity to expand your knowledge and understanding around psychopathology and to undertake a small research study with your colleagues on the course.
