Advanced Diploma in Psychodrama 

The Northern School of Psychodrama runs a post graduate Advanced Diploma in Psychodrama. This is a full Psychotherapy training accredited by both the BPA and UKCP. Graduates of this course are entitled to register with UKCP as qualified psychotherapists. 

The Advanced Diploma is a part-time training that takes a minimum of four years of structured learning. In addition, students submit a dissertation, usually during or soon after the final taught year. The course is modular and it is possible for students to use the first year to reflect on their  ability to make the long-term commitment to psychotherapy training. Students will be expected to undertake a number of  written projects each year, as well as meeting the requirements in relation to personal therapy and clinical practice.  

The Northern School model of Psychodrama is underpinned by the Person Centred Approach and much of the theoretical input on the course will be drawn from the work of  Carl Rogers.  The Advanced Diploma costs £ 2395.00 a year for four years. There are other costs associated with training (such as travel, therapy, supervision and external training hours). Please ask for further information.  

 Diploma start dates January and September

NSP is pleased to announce the development of a new Intermediate Level of training in Creative Action Methods in Psychotherapy. This training is open to people who are already qualified counsellors and therapists, who are members of their respective professional bodies. It will constitute CPD and equip trainees with skills in Creative Action Methods. The course is accredited by the British Psychodrama Association as a pilot scheme for 2009-2012. Trainees will attend six weekends and one Spring Residential week a year, for two years. There is some choice of weekends from our open programme of workshops. Trainees will also be offered individual and group tutorials. There are three pieces of written work and all components must be completed within three years of registering.

The Intermediate Level will lead to a Higher Certificate of skills in Creative Action Methods in Psychotherapy.

The cost will be £ 1995.00 per year.

Certificate in Psychodrama 

The Northern School of Psychodrama offers an Advanced Diploma in psychodrama. We are now responding to the current demand for training in a more modular fashion by introducing the Certificate in Psychodrama. This Certificate will offer training to individuals who wish to use aspects of psychodrama as part of their working practice but who are not necessarily wanting to train to full Advanced Diploma level. This course will give participants skills and theoretical knowledge of many of the action techniques involved in psychodrama to add to their existing therapeutic skills both for group work and individual client work.

The Northern School of Psychodrama on completion will award a Certificate of attendance.

The course will comprise six weekends run over two years. Weekends can be chosen from the four open weekends, currently run each year by the Northern School.The course will be suitable for professionals including other arts therapists, counsellors, nurses, social workers, teachers and community workers.

The course would count as external hours should a participant choose to continue onto the full diploma with another training organisation or as APL with The Northern School (APL policy available on request).

The course will count as 96 psychodrama training hours.

Certificate fee: £ 975.00
