University of Edinburgh Post Graduate Level 11.
The Postgraduate Diploma is a recognised qualification to practice as a counsellor. Taught over three years of part-time study (including the Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Studies in year one) it combines theoretical insights from the psychodynamic and person-centred traditions with practical experience gained in a range of agencies.
You will be facilitated in your learning by the core tutors who are experienced practitioners of counselling and psychotherapy, as well as by a personal tutor who will meet with you regularly throughout the Diploma, a practice supervisor who will help you reflect on your counselling work, and by an Interpersonal Learning Group tutor.
You will gain professional experience of individual adult counselling while on the Diploma. However, you will also be able to develop your experience of working with couples and/or with children and young people by undertaking additional option courses and practice placements with relevant agencies if you so wish.
The programme provides a high level of student-tutor contact and close supervision of counselling practice, in line with both professional and academic requirements.
