ShareCPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (TC-L4)
The MBET Centre's Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling training programme is an integrative (dialectical) approach which highlights a series of competencies required for effective counselling/psychotherapy practice. Trainees will have the opportunity to learn how to use a range of acceptance and change strategies appropriately in therapeutic relationships.
Course content
The approach is technically eclectic and trainees are taught to use a range of strategies and techniques from Mindfulness based therapies like ACT and emotion focused approaches like AEDP. Trainees also learn how to modify their interpersonal styles to best meet the needs and expectations of their client.
The approach is informed by attachment theory / research and mindfulness studies / research. Attention is also paid to current neuroscience findings.
Trainees will be required to have a minimum of 10 sessions of personal therapy per year.
Trainees will be required to attend 1 course of Mindfulness training per year.
This qualification is not suitable for those currently in a state of emotional difficulty and/or psychological confusion.
Building on strengths
In core areas like supervision, theory, therapeutic skills / strategies and personal development we encourage our students to develop their individual strengths through attentional training and personal therapy. At the Diploma level MBET tutors aim at stretching and supporting trainees as they engage with the course material with the aim of acquiring greater breadth and depth of understanding and knowledge. Trainees are also expected to show increasing ability to use a range of skills / strategies, including the ability to modify relationship stances to meet the needs of individual clients / patients.
