This is an MSc with a unique syllabus that explores the role of different contexts in how we interpret and deal with complex mental health issues. It is suited for anyone who wish to embark on a career in mental health but also existing professionals who would like to top up their knowledge on psychological therapies. This course covers exclusively professional skills, with hands on activities on assessment and formulation, tips on delivering the best practice and how to look after yourselves as mental health professionals.
Across the UK there’s a need for professionals of all kinds to gain expertise in psychological therapies. This course is an ideal next step for those who are already working in mental health, who want to go on to train as therapists, who want to complete research and those who work in related areas, such as social work, human resources or the voluntary sector.
On this MSc, you’ll have the opportunity to critically examine different approaches to understanding mental disorder. We’ll build your confidence in using psychological therapies but also develop your ability to understand the evidence base for these therapies – and assess which therapies might work for different types of disorder.
You’ll gain the knowledge to assess mental health problems, understand their origins and how to help recovery. You’ll learn about psychological therapies including individual cognitive behavioural therapies, cognitive analytic therapies, psychodynamic therapies, as well as group and family therapies.
Your course placement will give you experience of supervised practice and will develop your ability to work with emotional, behavioural and psychological distress.
You’ll also develop your research skills and complete a research project. By the time you complete the programme, you’ll be a skilled communicator, adept at expressing your ideas in spoken or written form.
This MSc is an academic course and does not lead to clinical accreditation.
Mental Health: Psychological Therapies is also available to study to PgDip level.
You may have to pay for travel to placements. Some placement providers may ask you to provide your own DBS assessment, which will cost between £30 and £50, depending on the provider.
