We’ve designed this course for practitioners working across mental health services, from nursing to social work. It focuses on person-centred care in mental health settings and shaping professional practice values.
The course is designed to introduce core clinical competencies, as outlined by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
Through the core units, you will develop a thorough understanding of theoretical and practice frameworks in mental health settings, reflective practice and practitioner wellbeing.
You will explore popular therapeutic approaches (including cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and motivational interviewing) and develop your awareness of clinical skills, such as assessment, formulation, intervention design and evaluation.
You’ll apply your practical knowledge through your postgraduate research. You might investigate a particular psychological intervention for clients or members of staff, conduct a service audit or evaluation project, or produce an explorative project around how a psychological service caters for their clients.
