CPD – Psychosis and the Other

We are delighted to welcome back Conor McCormack to our CPD programme; Conor will be leading a 2-part series (you may attend either one individually).

Taking place online on Saturdays 14th and 21st November 10:00 – 12:00

The NHS website helpfully tells us that psychosis is a state where people lose contact with reality. Unfortunately, the clinical copywriters omit any kind of definition of what reality is.

Post-graduate Certificate in Counselling Children & Young People in Educational & Community Settings – in association with The Bridge Foundation

This post-qualification certificate is for counsellors or psychotherapists who are adult trained and wish to specialize in working with children and young people. Applicants must hold a recognized Diploma in Counselling or Psychotherapy.

Although the certificate uses a psychodynamic approach your professional qualification does not necessarily have to be psychodynamic; it is helpful to have a basic knowledge of psychodynamic theory.

All applicants must undergo an enhanced DBS check.  This is not provided by Wessex CP.

Course Location and Structure: 

Taking place at The Bridge Foundation in Bristol over 12 Saturdays during the course year, 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.
You will also have 2 tutorials with a named tutor during the course. 

Please see ‘Course Dates and Calendar of Events’.

Assessment

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