Overview

Taught at University of Essex Colchester Campus, this course offers a grounding in psychodynamic theory and its applications. It can be pursued in its own right if students are interested in the psychodynamic approach but also constitutes the first year of Essex's Grad Dip/MA training in Psychodynamic Counselling. If students are a psychology graduate, this course is the ideal next step if they wish to progress in the field of psychodynamic counselling. It also provides a route to a counselling and psychotherapy qualification for professionals, such as teachers, social workers, nurses and care workers. The Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies is internationally recognized as one of the leading departments for work that focuses on the role of the unconscious mind in mental health, as well as in culture and society generally. Essex's research and teaching is deeply grounded in knowledge deriving from clinical practice, to which the highest standards of academic thinking are then applied. As this is the first year of the Counselling training most graduates progress towards qualification with the MA Psychodynamic Counselling. Other graduates go on to a number of different destinations, including further study and training in psychoanalysis, Jungian analysis, or psychoanalytic psychotherapy, or take their new understanding back to enrich their related professional work.
