Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling (BACP accredited)

Overview

As no two human beings are the same, it is our contention that no one theory will either make sense of, or be applicable to all persons. At the same time, there are recognisable patterns and conditions that all humans have encountered throughout the ages and literature is rife with such examples. Our integrative approach therefore underlines a number of things, not least that counselling and psychotherapy is an art and a science.
