Integrative-Relational Counselling

About this programme

This programme was developed and is delivered and assessed by South Thames Colleges Group - Kingston College, and awarded by and quality assured by Middlesex University. Our BA Hons Integrative-Relational Programme is a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited counselling course. It is highly regarded by experienced practicing counsellors in South West London and Surrey areas and therefore attracts applications based on the course reputation. The three year course focuses on developing the skills and knowledge required to work with others on an individual basis and emphasis is given to the importance of personal development as an essential part of the process, with increasing weight placed on the clinical component of the student’s learning. A work placement starting in Year 2 is an integral part of the course and students will be supported in finding a suitable placement. Awarding body: Students who complete the course successfully will receive a degree from Middlesex University London. Work placements: Provided that towards the end of the first year you have been assessed as ' ready to practice', you will begin to work on a counselling placement alongside your college studies at the start of the Year Two programme. Evidence and experience of competence to practice with clients rather than just with your peers in training sessions is an essential part of your training. Placement experiences also accelerate and deepen your professional learning and understanding, and serve to increase your employability.
