Applicants should have a mental health qualification e.g. psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, psychiatry, nursing, social work, and should have experience of working therapeutically with people with mental health difficulties. The course assumes prior experience of conducting psychological therapy and does not provide an introduction at this level. Applicants are required to have at least two years post-qualification experience.

Those applicants who wish to include the supervision option also need to have access to a client presenting with moderate to severe levels of depression for their first case.

This is an IAPT - compliant course and accredited by IPT-UK
IPT is a manualised brief therapy which has an extensive evidence base with working age adults, older people and adolescents.
The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends IPT for the treatment of depression and eating disorders and, under the patient choice agenda, there is pressure to provide it as an alternative treatment to CBT.
