Course details
The PDP program is designed to equip students with professional skills and techniques to effectively conduct therapy. Furthermore, to understand how psychotherapy can be implemented in other areas of development such as personal life, relationships, family and workplace.
Psychotherapy is a general term for interpersonal and relational intervention of treating mental and emotional disorders by engaging clients to vocalize their condition and related issues with a mental health professional. Psychotherapists employ a range of techniques focusing on experiential relationship building, communication and behavior modification. This often includes alleviation of distress, an increase in inpidual sense of well-being and reduction of subjective discomforting experiences.
The course is committed to educating students on different disciplines of psychology and psychotherapy applications, as well as promoting specialized training for students who are keen to practice counseling/psychotherapy professionally and independently. The course is designed to specifically teach students the three types of therapy approaches that psychologists, counselors and psychotherapists use to conduct therapy sessions. They are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Hypnotherapy. Students will also be taught on the ethical aspect of counseling such as client confidentiality.
Upon completion of the course modules, students have to clock in 120 hours of practicum to be a licensed psychotherapist with the National Council of Psychotherapists, UK. The licensing can enable students to practice privately, in care corners, or in hospitals to name a few.
