Regent’s is a leading training institution for psychology, psychotherapy and counselling psychology. We nurture our students to become professionals with a solid grounding in theory, equipped to think independently and work skilfully and ethically in a variety of settings.

Psychology at Regent’s offers a wealth of scientific insight into how the human brain functions and the ways that this knowledge can be applied in society. Our psychotherapy and counselling programmes teach a range of theoretical perspectives, encouraging enquiry and analysis. They offer a seamless training route, from foundation all the way through to postgraduate and professional qualification.

Our psychotherapy and counselling programmes lead to professional membership of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
