The unit will provide education and training in the processes and skills of research in counselling and psychotherapy. It will offer an understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of the relevant social science research methodologies and facilitate an understanding of the ethical issues relevant to research in counselling, psychotherapy, and with different cultural groups.
