Focus on the BA (Hons) in Counselling & Pschotherapy
Attitudes have changed- It really is acceptable to seek counselling
 |
There has undoubtedly been a huge increase in people going for counselling in the last few years. Many of us are finding that modern life is full of constant challenges. Our lives are busier than ever before and we are often juggling several issues such as work, health issues, change in family circumstances, bereavement, multiple demands on our time.
The current economic climate means we are working longer hours either in fear of losing our jobs or through covering roles for people who have unfortunately already have. Change in the workplace is ongoing and often immediate. The pressure to appear in control is huge. Many do not want to talk about issues to colleagues, friends and even family for fear of being judged as not being able to cope. As a result more and more of us are reporting feelings of stress, anxiety and depression as well as sleep disturbances.Whatever background we are from – whatever age, gender, culture etc, deep down we all share common concerns and worries. Counselling is a great way to get support within a non judgmental, safe environment.
We are now accepting applications for the BA (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP recognised) commencing in September 2014.

Testimonial from a recent BA (Hons) Counselling & Psychotherapy graduaute
|
“I chose Dublin Business School to study for my BA in Counselling & Psychotherapy for a variety of reasons. As a full-time worker the modular nature of the degree course initially appealed to me – the academic timetable afforded a manageable level of flexibility, and indeed one could decide the number of years over which to complete the degree. But the primary reason was the regard in which the degree programme is held externally. The IACP accredited degree is a qualification in integrative psychotherapy, as such the training spans a number of psychotherapy models such as humanistic, psychoanalytic, existential, CBT. There is a healthy balance of academic and experiential skills training, the latter comprising group analysis, psychotherapy role plays and group project work. The academic tutors and skills trainers are highly talented and respected within the psychotherapy community. My final year thesis allowed me to focus on an area of interest – psychodynamic processes within organisations. I presented my work at the 2013 IAHIP Conference where it was well received. The DBS qualification has now provided me with the necessary requirements to now continue working towards accreditation with IACP” R. Sheehan, BA (Hons) Counselling & Psychotherapy (Graduated 2013)
