Level 4 Diploma – Integrative Counselling

LEVEL 4 Diploma – Integrative Counselling

This is a two-year Diploma in Integrative Counselling grounded in CPCAB’s practitioner development and therapeutic change model, utilising Petruska Clarkson’s ‘Five Relational Model’ as the core theoretical framework.

The course covers the five key relationships: the working alliance, transference dynamics, the reparative and developmental relationship, the real (person-to-person) relationship, and the transpersonal connection.

You’ll gain experience as a counsellor through a placement in an agency setting, where you are required to complete 100 supervised client hours.

The course also requires a minimum of 40 hours of personal counselling over the two years.

Clarkson’s relational model underpins the course, incorporating elements from Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Intercultural approaches.

In the second year, you’ll be introduced to short-term and solution-focused therapies, including Motivational Interviewing, Neuro Linguistic Programming (N.L.P.) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (C.B.T.)

Throughout the program, you’ll explore key topics such as identity, diversity, mental health, depression, anxiety, loss and grieving, addictions, co-dependency, and eating disorders.
