Professional accreditation
The course does not accredit prior (experiential) learning.
The course has been approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
The course has been accredited by the:
- British Psychological Society (BPS)
- British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP) as a Level 2 programme.
- We have started to pilot a Foundation Training in Systemic Practice that is embedded within the DClinPsy Course. Our aim is to apply for accreditation with the Association of Family Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFT). All first-year trainees will complete the requirements of the Foundation Training in Systemic Practice. This involves attending the systemic teaching and completing the systemic assignments.
Approach and theories
The course has particular strengths in cognitive-behavioural and systemic models.
Placement locations
The course, along with two other programmes (UCL and UEL), draws its clinical placements from the entire North London area. These encompass a diverse range of locations and treatment modalities. Because of the presence of major clinics and teaching hospitals in North London, the placement pool includes cutting edge services and settings.
