CCS has places available for Direct Entry into the second year of the Diploma Course for those applicants who wish to gain a BACP Recognised Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling.

There are only up to 4 places available each year in the second year, so we may not be able to accommodate everyone who applies.

To gain your BACP-Recognised Diploma you will need to meet with the following criteria:

• You must have attended a Basic Skills course of more than 90 hours in length.
• You will be asked to submit a tape recording evidence of a session with a client - either "real" or a role play.
• You will be asked to ask to write a 1000 word typewritten essay illustrating your understanding of the psychodynamic model based on your personal journey and insights gained during your first year's counselling training.
• You will be asked to submit copies of your first year's reports from Course Tutors.

In assessing the tape and at interview stage, the Panel will be looking for the following "reflective practitioner" qualities:

• Insight into your own inner world
• Awareness of conflicts within
• Listening and responding skills
• An understanding of the purpose of boundaries both personally and professionally
• Ability to recognise these when they're being tested
• Ability to be honest about your limitations
• Ability to make positive use of assistance offered
• Capacity to cope emotionally with Year 2

Skills

• Able to use open ended questions
• Able to reflect back, listen actively, clarify, paraphrase and summarise
• Able to work in the here and now (immediacy)
• Able to have some awareness that past situations are repeated in the process emerging between client and counsellor

All material which you submit will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and the tape and essay will be returned to you

Please be aware that although you may appear to meet all the criteria, you are not guaranteed entry into Module II, and following your interview it may be considered more appropriate to offer you a place in Module I.

Should you be successful in gaining entry into Module II, you will be expected to commence your own personal therapy as soon as possible with a practitioner chosen by you from our list of recommended therapists/counsellors. A delay in starting this could result in a delay in starting with client work in the Autumn Term

Due to the extra work involved in assessing whether your application might be suitable for entry into Module 2, there is an extra administrative cost.

If you feel that you might meet the criteria and would like to be considered for entry to Module 2 please click here for a Direct Entry to Module 2 Application Form.
