What are the most important theories and approaches?
It is generally recognised that there are three ‘core’ approaches: • Psychodynamic • Cognitive-behavioural • Humanistic Within these general headings there are many other approaches. The differences between these are often difficult to define and are of limited relevance to the trainee counsellor. CSCT Intermediate and Advanced training courses provide a grounding in all 3 core approaches. Advanced Level training provides a deeper exploration of either the Psychodynamic, Humanistic or Integrative approach.
