This PhD programme is an advanced research degree enabling you to conduct in-depth independent research on a topic of your choice, thereby making a significant and original contribution to knowledge in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.


Counselling and psychotherapy specialise in qualitative, reflexive and critical approaches to research, and have particular expertise in practice-based research that draws directly on practitioners' own therapeutic work, on the client's experience of therapy, and in narrative, reflexive and auto-ethnographic methods.


We are especially keen to encourage research concerned with the interface between counselling, psychotherapy and social, cultural and political life.
