Integrative Psychotherapy MSc
On behalf of the Counselling and Psychotherapy department here at Birmingham Newman, I wish you a warm welcome to the training.
We look forward to accompanying you on your personal and professional journey towards becoming a qualified psychotherapy across the next 4 years.
Hopefully you should all have receive some information from us about finding a personal therapist and perhaps getting started on the reading. On the first day we will offer just a very brief induction which takes you through what you need to know to get started so you don’t feel too lost.
If there are any initial questions you have about the training or any problems you need resolving, we will be offering a brief online meeting on Monday 14th September at 6pm. Attendance at this meeting is voluntary so if you aren’t able to come then please rest assured that all essential information will be imparted on the first day of the training.
