Vision

We aim for excellence in all aspects of psychotherapy practice, education of psychotherapist and counsellors, psychotherapy research and services that support mental health. 

Mission

To provide high quality psychotherapy and counselling education.

To prepare graduates for clinical practice.

To actively engage in developing research and practice that will improve the mental health within society. 

Standards and Quality

Our professional training programmes lead to registration with the appropriate regulatory bodies, BACP, UKCP, HCPC and BPS. This means that our training programmes are monitored annually and re-accredited every five years. 

Our academic standards and quality are monitored not only by the bodies mentioned above, but also by our validating higher education organisation Middlesex University. Each year our students who are taking optional academic qualifications are taken to academic boards where their training achievements are ratified and academic credits awarded.

Middlesex University also appoints external examiners to our courses to ensure that our training programmes meet required academic standards and are equivalent to other university undergraduate and postgraduate courses and CPDs. 

We report to our validating universities through their Quality Assurance and Assessment Standards. Middlesex University are monitored by the Quality Assurance Agency.
