Students may opt to take the Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (PG Dip) in the process of working towards their psychotherapy Diploma/MSc, or opt to take the PG Dip as an exit award. The award is offered in the Gestalt, Transactional Analysis or Person Centred approaches.
The PG Dip is a three year taught course which has many shared modules with the psychotherapy training. Therefore for details of the training structure please see the first three years of the MSc/Diploma Course. The PG Dip also requires a further 16 hours of training which can be attained through workshops at Metanoia or elsewhere.
This course will be competency based. Students will need to demonstrate that they meet the level of competency appropriate to the stage of their training. Evidence for this will be gathered from a variety of sources including group participation, live practice work, supervision reports, written work and self, peer and tutor assessment. Students will submit a portfolio once a year which will include the evidence of their learning and a self-reflective learning journal. The final assessment includes a case study and presentation of the portfolio at viva.
Successful completion will lead to a Metanoia awarded Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. The course follows the guidelines of both the UKCP Psychotherapeutic Counselling Section and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy to which students may apply when they have completed the required 450 clinical hours.
