| Why Choose The Minster Centre? | |
| 1.
We have 30 years of experience in the field of Integrative Psychotherapy
and Counselling. The Minster Centre was established as an Integrative training institute in 1978 and we have been leaders in the field ever since. Our founders were influential in the establishing of the UKCP and formed part of the working party that set up UKCP training standards for the qualification of psychotherapists. Long experience as trainers and practitioners gives us an unsurpassed understanding of theory, practice and learning methods which enables us to be creative and innovative in course design while maintaining the highest training standards. The Minster Centre specialises in Integrative
psychotherapy – it is not a later addition, jostling alongside
other courses, subject to institutional vagaries and political
in-fighting as could happen in other institutes. All of our
efforts go into running a comprehensive professional training
in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. Alongside being firmly rooted in many years of professional practice and delivery of courses, we hold a contemporary and pragmatic focus on how to best prepare students for working as psychotherapists and counsellors in today’s world. This is especially important in the light of demographic and cultural changes, as well as in reference to the political and social debates concerning the provision of services for mental health care in the UK. Our staff members are active in the UKCP and BACP, participating in research and theoretical studies, and operating at senior level in various clinical settings – we understand the world of practice in the 21st century. As part of the organisation, alongside our training
courses we have three clinical services – the Mapesbury
Clinic, an advocacy and counselling project for people in exile;
Families Without Fear, a research and counselling project for
people whose lives are affected by domestic violence; and our
Low-Cost Referral Service, offering counselling and psychotherapy
to self-referred people. 3. Our training offers you the chance to get three qualifications. The Minster Centre is recognised and validated as an accredited course provider by BACP, UKCP and Middlesex University. It is possible to be awarded:

4. Our training is a
complete package At the Minster Centre, we understand that students
have to juggle their finances, personal and professional lives
in order to train; that training is a long commitment, and that
it is better for course costs and time requirements to be transparent
rather than hidden so that you can make informed choices about
planning your training. The vast majority of our students work
and/or have families, and we recognise that training has to
fit within busy lives. 5. We offer personalised training Our Foundation training offers a comprehensive grounding in counselling and psychotherapy. The Minster Centre is one of the top training institutes in the UK, and yet we are small enough to offer a personalised training. Our learning groups are designed so that people do not ‘get lost in the crowd’. The underpinning of training is experiential and discussion based so your voice is heard. We give close personal guidance to students as individuals. There is a Board of Studies, composed of student representatives -- we listen to what our students tell us. We know who you are and greet you by name –
you are never ‘just a number’ at the Minster Centre.
