Integrative Counselling and Coaching MSc
University of East LondonStratford Campus, London
Course overview
The Master of Science in Integrative Counselling and Coaching is a unique and ground-breaking course. It is the only postgraduate course in the UK, and possibly in the world, that integrates counselling and coaching practices.
