Our post-qualifying diploma course equips qualified counsellors with the essential skills, knowledge and abilities to work as child and adolescent therapists in a variety of settings.

The course is accredited with CPD Services. 
The course meets the BACP competency framework, and will provide you with an overview of child development, an understanding of the different types of counselling approaches that can be used with children and young people, and how to put these into practice. You will also learn about the ethical considerations involved in counselling children and adolescents.
The 8 online training modules, delivered live via Zoom provide an educational opportunity for both experienced and newly qualified counsellors. Click here to read more about the course modules.
