Universities Training College (UTC)

The Universities Training College (UTC) brings together a wide range of university-based counselling and psychotherapy programmes. It therefore covers a wide range of psychotherapy approaches and experience.

UTC aims to improve the standards of academic psychotherapeutic training and education. It provides a forum for further developing an academic research base for psychotherapeutic counselling and psychotherapy through university-based training programmes.
