Post Graduate Diploma – Psychodynamic Approaches to Counselling Children and Young People in an Educational and Community Settings (CCYP)

Wessex Counselling and Psychotherapy in association with The Bridge Foundation

This is a post-qualification certificate for counsellors or psychotherapists who are adult trained and wish to specialize in working with children and young people. Although it uses a psychodynamic approach your professional qualification does not have to be psychodynamic.

Entry Requirement

Applicants must hold a recognized Diploma in Counselling or Psychotherapy qualification. Your Diploma need not be in Psychodynamic Counselling but it is helpful to have a basic knowledge of psychodynamic theory.

All applicants must undergo a DBS check. This is provided by Wessex at no extra cost.

Course Structure

The course will take place in Bristol on 13 Saturdays (Induction and 12 study days) over a 12-month period. The course content will focus on psychodynamic approaches to therapy with children and young people, developmental and neuroscience theory. A work discussion group and process group run alongside individual supervision of your work/placement which can be arranged locally with an approved supervisor.

Assessment

Participants will be assessed on attendance, participation and engagement with the programme and three written submissions at post-graduate level. Also satisfactory completion of a placement of at least 60 hours with a child or young person and associated supervision with an approved supervisor.
