The Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling aims to provide a solid foundation in the Humanistic Integrative approach and its application to counselling practice. The course is a practitioner training and offers an environment where students can build on their relationship skills within clinical practice. Students are encouraged to develop further their self-awareness, both within the group and throughout their practice. On completion of the course students will qualify for the Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling.
The Diploma is the first year of the two-year training, and is open to students who have gained a Certificate in Humanistic Integrative Counselling from other training institutions. In order to be accredited, students then need to go onto the second year of the course (Advanced Diploma) and take the Certificate in Proficiency Test, offered online by the BACP, once they have completed the whole training.
The Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling is a one-year part time course spanning over five modules. It aims to provide a solid foundation in the Humanistic Integrative approach and its application to counselling practice. The course is a practitioner training and offers an environment where students can build on their relationship skills within clinical practice. Students are encouraged to develop further their self-awareness, both within the group and throughout their practice.
Each module consists of full day weekend classes and evening classes on the following weekdays. There will also be further intensive weekend trainings in working with Children & Adolescents. In addition to course contact time, it is mandatory for trainees to attend supervision sessions, sign up as student members of the BACP (British Association of Counselors and Psychotherapists) and be in personal therapy. Students will also be expected to complete 120 client contact hours over the year; a minimum of 60 client contact hours is required to be eligible for the Advance Diploma. Students are given six months from the last day of classes to submit their Diploma portfolios and on successful submission will receive their Diploma award.
The core tutor will discuss further information with regards the requirements of the Diploma during the first weekend and in the Diploma Handbook, which will be provided to the students on the first day of the weekend. The Diploma forms year one of the two - year training program and as a stand-alone course does not qualify students to practice as trained counselors.
The Diploma provides an arena for trainees to further develop their understanding of the Humanistic Integrative Framework and the application of the Five Level Relationship Model (Petruska Clarkson). Students will deepen their understanding of the major Humanistic approaches of Person-Centered Counselling, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Egan, and combine this with deeper understanding of the Psychodynamic concepts of transference and countertransference.

Clinical practice is supported through ongoing assessment by the clinical supervisor.
Assessment is based on the demonstration of skills through the case presentation of their work with clients, including the submission of three audio-taped counselling sessions, as well as active participation within the whole group and in skills based exercises. Students are expected to attend every session (a leave in case of emergency might be allowed by the tutor depending on circumstance) for the Diploma to be issued.
