Licenciatura em Aconselhamento Humanístico

The BSc (Hons), which runs alongside Metanoia Institute’s Diploma in Humanistic Counselling qualification, provides training for those wishing to pursue a career in counselling. The course runs over three academic years, and the Diploma in Humanistic Counselling is a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited training route. It is possible to take the stand and Diploma with Metanoia and not register for the BSc (Hons) degree. However, few students elect to do this as the Diploma requirements and the combined BSc (Hons) and Diploma course are the same in terms of teaching hours and content, assessment requirements, and course delivery.

The course will provide you with a strong knowledge base and the expertise to practise as a humanistic counsellor. It is designed to equip students with a set of relational competencies which have application across the ever-broadening range of settings with which counselling is being practised. The course includes counselling theory, skills training, personal development, and practical experience working with clients. Upon graduation, you will receive a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling awarded by Middlesex University and a Metanoia Diploma in Humanistic Counselling.

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.
