This course is held over 17 Thursdays between October 2023 and June 2024

(9.30 - 4.30)

This course is exclusively online via zoom so ensuring greater accessibility.

This qualification is designed to give counsellors  the knowledge, skills and competencies to work as self-employed counsellors in independent and private 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 course is integrative, integrating our understanding and knowledge through the therapeutic relationship. We also incorporate creative work into the course especially as it  might apply to private practice. 

As you will expect the course includes experiential learning as well as skills and theory. 

There will be an opportunity to expand your knowledge and understanding​ of psychopathology especially in terms of assessment and working privately. 

You will also undertake a small research study with your colleagues on the course. 

Throu​gh our experience of running this course we have found it is often at this stage in your counselling career when counsellors are considering areas that are of interest to them, or aspects of their practice that they are developing a specialism in.
