The Cornwall Therapy Partnership, formerly Bodmin Psychotherapy and Counselling Centre, has gained University approval from Birmingham City University, for its psychotherapy training programme.
It means that for the first time in Cornwall, local people will be able to train to gain a Masters degree in psychotherapy.
It also means that the Cornwall Therapy Partnership can now offer training from basic theory and skills up to a Masters degree, the first training provider in Cornwall to do so.
The Partnership’s Dr Cathy McQuaid said: “This is great news because it means the people of Cornwall can not only train to a higher level without having to leave the county but that also that the clients and patients who are currently receiving counselling or psychotherapy will benefit from working with therapists who have gone that extra mile to achieve University Masters level training.”
