Introduction to SPCP

The School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology at Regent's College is located in the extensive grounds of Regent's Park, in Central London.

SPCP has existed in its current form since 1990, but it grew out of an innovative Masters programme in humanistic psychology which was established in 1977 and accredited by Antioch University, USA.

The MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling course obtained British validation with City University, London, in 1991, whilst the MA in Counselling Psychology/Post-MA Diploma in Existential Counselling Psychology obtained validation from City University and accreditation from the British Psychological Society from 2000. Validation by City University for the MPhil/PhD programme was granted in 1992.

The MA/PgD in Psychotherapy and Counselling, the DCounsPsy (Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology) and the MPhil/PhD in Psychotherapy and Counselling Studies obtained validation by the University of Wales in 2005.

Validation is a rigorous process of course approval during which the course details are scrutinised by a panel of both University staff and external advisers with appropriate professional expertise, and represents a significant endorsement of the quality of SPCP's training which fully meets the demanding criteria of the UK higher education sector's Quality Assurance Agency.
