At Matrix we value the uniqueness of the individual and the individual’s context. Our aim is to provide a facilitative learning environment, based on our values of integration and intersubjectivity that is non-discriminatory, mutually respectful and co-created.

We combine high quality academic teaching with a flexible approach that is delivered in a respectful adult-to-adult relationship between staff and students. We believe that the voice of the student counts.

Integration is the drawing together of theories and concepts in order to make a new whole.

Matrix has a strong belief in integration. We draw on many knowledge bases and methodologies from which students are encouraged to develop their own individual theoretical framework for understanding their counselling practice. Students are therefore encouraged to gain familiarity with alternative theories –debating, critiquing, comparing and contrasting them with the theory they are studying. This is underpinned with the integrative assumptions that:

  • No one counselling orientation has the whole truth.
  • Every orientation has something to offer.
  • The relationship between client and counsellor is the central feature of healing and growth.


Many people will not have studied in this way before, or for some time, and there is help all the way at every stage for people to develop these learning skills.

If you have any questions about the courses described in the prospectus, please get in touch with Dr Susie Jones who will be happy to help you.
