Person-Centred Counselling, MSc

University of Aberdeen

Our Person-Centred Counselling programme is the starting point for a career providing life-changing therapy. Full-time or part-time, you can achieve an MSc, PgDip or PgCert, allowing you to progress to your chosen career. This programme is grounded in Carl Rogers’ theory of human potential, and training in this approach opens you to the self-knowledge needed to offer clients the deep connectedness at the heart of the therapeutic relationship. Our full-time route allows you to complete an MSC in 18 months, with an option on the final 60 credits coming from either a Dissertation/Counselling Related Research Study, or our Specialist Certificate for Counselling Children and Young People. Our part-time options give you more flexibility, with the opportunity to qualify as a Person-Centred practitioner just after two years, or to complete the MSc in three years, equally via the dissertation or the CYP specialisation route.
