Neuroscience for Counsellors: Professional Diploma Training in Applied Neuroscience

Advances in neuroscience have transformed our understanding of trauma, emotion regulation, memory, attachment, and therapeutic change. The Professional Diploma in Neuroscience for Counsellors at ICPS College brings this knowledge into direct clinical application, enabling practitioners to integrate neuroscientific insights into their therapeutic work.

This programme is designed for practitioners who wish to understand the biological and neurological underpinnings of the conditions and presentations they encounter in practice — and to communicate this understanding accessibly to clients.

Programme Overview

The ten-module programme covers brain structure and function, the neuroscience of stress and trauma, the autonomic nervous system and polyvagal theory, neuroplasticity and therapeutic change, the neuroscience of emotion regulation, memory systems and their clinical relevance, and the implications of neuroscience for integrative practice. Sixty CPD credits are awarded on completion via live-online Zoom delivery.

Who Is This Programme For?

This diploma is suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, and mental health professionals at any stage of their careers who wish to deepen their understanding of the neurological basis of human behaviour and therapeutic change.
