Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (Taught)

Learn how to work therapeutically with individuals and communities while developing the professional skills, confidence and experience needed to build a meaningful career in counselling and psychotherapy.

The Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (MA ICP) trainings at Roehampton are professionally accredited, practice-focused and designed to prepare you for real-world therapeutic work. You will train in an integrative model that combines person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches, helping you understand both conscious and unconscious processes while developing a strong, relational way of working.

From the start, you will learn through hands-on skills workshops, supervised practice, reflective groups and supported clinical placements. You will complete supervised client work and personal therapy, gaining the depth of experience needed to graduate as a confident, ethical and reflective practitioner ready for professional practice in settings such as the NHS, private practice, education and community services.

You will develop skills in online and telephone counselling and learn how to use research and digital tools to enhance ethical, evidence-based practice, preparing you for the evolving world of therapy.

You will also strengthen your professional identity, critical thinking and reflective skills, enabling you to work confidently with diverse clients and complex clinical presentations. By the end of your training, you will be equipped with the academic depth, clinical experience and professional recognition needed to build a sustainable and rewarding career in counselling and psychotherapy.
