Doktorat w Psychologii Doradczej i Psychoterapii na Studiach Zawodowych (DCPsych)

The Metanoia DCPsych is a joint programme offered in partnership with Middlesex University. It allows candidates to work towards the qualification of Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy. The programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). On successful completion, candidates attain accreditation as fully qualified Chartered Counselling Psychologists and are eligible for immediate registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Of note, this programme is the only Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology that also enables candidates to attain registration with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) as an Integrative and Humanistic Psychotherapist; in this respect, successful candidates are awarded the Metanoia Clinical Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy. This is one of many distinctive features of counselling psychologist training at Metanoia Institute.

We were founded in the early 1980s and were among the first organisations in the UK to offer humanistically oriented professional training programmes. Metanoia Institute is a well-established educational charity specialising in professional training programmes for counsellors, psychotherapists, counselling psychologists, supervisors, coaches and organisational development consultants.

At Metanoia, all our approaches offer a broad basis from which to develop a personal style. We emphasise the importance of developing a sound therapeutic relationship that can support and challenge the client according to the context. Psychotherapy outcome research and the experience of practitioners in the field suggest that no single psychotherapy or counselling approach is significantly more effective than any other approach, and all have something to offer the clinician. It is the nature of the problem, the client's personality, and the setting of the therapy that call for a particular approach.
