Integrative Counselling and Coaching PGDip

Overview

The Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching is a unique course. It is the only postgraduate course in the UK, and possibly in the world, that offers integration of counselling and coaching practices.

This course provides professional training to those who aim to integrate various counselling and coaching in their one-to-one practice.

Successful graduates from this course will be able to apply for registered membership of BACP and eventual accreditation (as is the case with all other training courses, the latter requires additional practice hours).
