Therapeutic Engagement - Module NS6042

How you connect with others is central to your work in mental health care. This twelve week, Level 9 micro-credential is for nurses, midwives and healthcare professionals who want to build confidence and skills in using therapeutic engagement at a more advanced level.  

You’ll explore key theories that guide therapeutic work, including person-centred, cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic approaches.   

You’ll also learn practical CBT techniques to support assessment, case formulation and behaviour change. There is a strong focus on communication, collaboration and supporting people through trauma or mental health challenges, including in perinatal care.  

Throughout the module, you’ll reflect on your own communication style and values, and learn how therapeutic engagement can support healing, recovery and better outcomes for the people you care for.  

This module is associated with the Advanced Clinical Practice - Postgraduate Certificate, and Perinatal Mental Health - MSc. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
