Overview
The MEd in Adult Guidance Counselling is designed to meet the learning needs of Guidance Counselling practitioners who are seeking to build on their initial guidance qualification to develop their capacity to engage in critical reflection on their practice and contribute to the profession.
This programme is particularly suited to those who are seeking theoretical frameworks from which to explore and question the assumptions that underpin their work practices.
The course is intended to meet the learning needs of existing guidance practitioners who work across a variety of settings e.g. prison system, disability, labour market services, adult educational guidance services and private practice.
