Important announcement: Unfortunately, due to decisions in TUDublin, there is currently no date for the course to go ahead. This is outside our control. We will update this as soon as we are informed by TUDublin.
The BA Hons in Counselling & Psychotherapy is accredited by two professional bodies:
APCP – The Association of Professional Counsellors & Psychotherapists in Ireland
NAPCP- National Association for Professional Counselling & Psychotherapy
The programme will run this autumn on the Blanchardstown campus.
The programme also has embedded awards after Years 1 and/or Year 2 of study, for those people working in the caring, educational, and allied professions who wish to develop their personal and professional skills to enhance their practice.
The graduate will be able to:
Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the main theoretical approaches and conceptualise these models with reference to the individual needs of clients
Evaluate emerging trends and international research in the field of Counselling and Psychotherapy
Demonstrate a range of skills enabling them to work in an evidence-based and innovative manner with clients and allied professionals
Demonstrate competence in skills acquisition for practice, including therapeutic skills, case management, development and evaluation of treatment plans, intervention skills, referrals, and relevant administrative skills
Work, safely, effectively, and autonomously as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Demonstrate an ability to update and develop their own and others practice and professional growth
Demonstrate a high level of professional and ethical behaviour, recognising their level of competence and abide by professional code of ethics.
Students will have the opportunity for placement in our counselling centre.
Students will not have to source their own clients for their professional hours – they will work with Northside Counselling clients, and as students will work with our clients, we ensure they have reached a high standard of competence and skill.
Students will be further supported by our very knowledgeable supervisors, administration and reception staff.

We have trained over 200 counsellors over the last 20 years and we are strongly committed to continuing this Training.
