Training at The Minster Centre Teaching Methods and Assessment The Minster Centre sees an integrative training as bringing together theory, practice and experience. Students are encouraged to relate these three strands throughout their training. The courses thus combine theoretical seminars with skills training, experiential training groups and weekend workshops as well as supervised work with training clients.

Seminars

Seminars introduce students to a range of theories, histories and practices in psychotherapy and counselling. They combine lectures and group discussions and require students to produce essays and give presentations.

Experiential Training Groups

Experiential training groups make the personal development of the student the prime focus. Group leaders facilitate students' personal exploration as well as the development of interactions within the group.

Training Client Experience

Students in later years of study begin working with training clients. All training clients are assessed by staff at the Minster Centre, and students are closely supervised while in practice. During final years of training, clinical experience extends to work in hospitals and other mental health settings.

Continuous and Open Assessment

To pass courses, students must be proficient in all areas of their training – in written, experiential and clinical elements. In accordance with the Minster Centre's approach, assessment is continuous and open. It includes self-assessment, peer assessment, tutor assessment and assessment by external examiners.
