Program Overview

Student-Trainees must secure a full-time trainee PWP position with a local NHS Talking Therapies service provider to enrol on the Programmes. Positions are advertised on the NHS jobs website or through other local NHS Talking Therapies compliant provider organisations.

This programme is not to be confused with the MSc in Psychological Well-being

PWP’s work within the NHS and independent NHS Talking Therapies compliant services as part of the NHS Talking Therapies initiative to help increase access to evidence-based psychological therapies for people with depression and anxiety. They are trained to identify common mental health problems and, where appropriate, provide treatment at a low-intensity level. They also case-manage referrals or signposting to other agencies such as social care organisations.

The Low-Intensity Psychological Interventions Programmes are available at both a Graduate and Postgraduate Certificate level of study. If you don’t currently have an undergraduate degree, you will be eligible for the Graduate Certificate qualification upon successful competition on the course. If you do have an undergraduate degree, you will be eligible for the Postgraduate Certificate.
