Do you want to make a difference to the lives of children and adolescents?

Being young is a time when we are vulnerable. Children only have limited life experience. They are constantly learning about the world around them and they need confidence to grow. The fears and anxieties of children can quickly destroy their fragile confidence if they are not provided with adequate care, love and understanding.

Those who work with children are most effective when they have an understanding of the specific problems faced by them, and what can be expected in normal childhood development.

If you are passionate about working with children and young people then this course may be right for you. The course is a distance learning course which focuses on counselling this age group. In this course you will be able to learn about theories of childhood development (e.g. morality, cognition, psychosocial), as well as develop core counselling skills. The elective modules offer an opportunity to specialise in areas such as mental health problems which have their onset in childhood, adolescent development, and disorders of childhood. There is also the possibility of learning more general psychology which can be applied to people of all ages, or focusing on specific areas for counselling.

You can study this flexible course in your own home and at your own pace, and you will have support from our experienced and highly qualified tutors.
