Diploma in Counselling Psychology - 24th September 2024

The Diploma in Counselling Psychology at City Colleges aims to introduce students to the main theories, strategies, and skills of counselling psychology. Theories covered are derived from the three main basic therapeutic frameworks; humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural. Students will graduate with a sound basic understanding of these three main schools and specific examples of each from a theoretical perspective. Attention will also be paid to broad differences between counselling psychology and related professions such as counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, etc. Basic skills training will also be covered. Finally, students will gain experience of research through a project to be completed within one month of completion of lectures.

This course is offered from our Dublin City Centre location (South Great George’s Street, Dublin 2) and online.

This event has been approved for CPD credits for members of the Psychology Society of Ireland.

The course runs three times per year, in January, April and September
