PGCert — 2025 entry Advanced Practice in Psychological Wellbeing

This module provides trainees with the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge of undertaking patient centred assessments. This is with adults who are presenting with mild-moderate mental health difficulties in NHS talking therapies for Anxiety and Depression contexts. Throughout the module, trainees are supported to develop themselves as resilient, reflective and professional practitioners who can critically engage with the literature that informs their practice.     Skills developed in this module (e.g. interpersonal skills, use of empathy) will be fundamental in supporting trainees through subsequent modules (PSYM127 and PSYM129) where they will be required to carry out treatments with diverse individuals suffering with anxiety and depression.

This module supports trainees to develop the competencies they require to be able to treat adult patients from diverse populations who are presenting with mild-moderate common mental health difficulties using evidence-based low-intensity interventions. The module builds on the engagement and assessment skills and knowledge that trainees developed in module PSYM126. Additionally, the module continues to help trainees to grow as reflective practitioners who can critically engage with their practice and the evidence base that informs this.   Trainees will be encouraged to consider how treatments can be adapted to support individuals from a variety of different backgrounds thus providing them with knowledge for subsequent modules (PSYM129). 

This module provides trainees with opportunities to gain hands on experience of the Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) role in a clinical context. This is important in enabling trainees to advance themselves as autonomous professionals who are capable of problem solving and ethical decision making. It also helps trainees to develop the transferable skills required by PWP employers and is designed to strengthen the application of their learning from modules PSYM126, PSYM127 and PSYM129 in practice. This is achieved through supervised clinical practice which helps trainees to make theory-practice links and to accrue the clinical experiences required to pass this module i.e. the clinical and supervision hours and experiences specified in the national PWP training curriculum.

This module is designed to support trainees’ critical engagement with values, diversity and context. Its overarching aim is to enable trainees to develop themselves as resourceful, critically reflective practitioners who exhibit sophisticated levels of meta competence in their work with individual differences. The module also emphasises ethical practice and trainees’ ability to work within the limits of their competence.   This module should further support trainees to assess and treat individuals from diverse backgrounds therefore building on the learning from the previous modules (PSYM126 and PSYM127).
