This course has been developed in line with the BACP curriculum for stage 1 Introduction to counselling young people. and will enable you to gain knowledge, skills and understanding for working with those aged 11-18 years. This is for counsellors who are in their final year of training or those who are qualified and who are considering working with adolescents.

It covers 

• beginnings of the therapeutic relationship with young people
• working with the relationship with young people
• development in adolescence (including attachment theory)
• ethical, professional, legal issues and young people
• understanding groups for working with young people
• working creatively with young people 
• endings and young people.

Throughout the course there will be experiential work, to help gain an understanding how important it is to be self  aware when working with adolescents.

To gain the ICT certificate and a report stating that you are competent to work with this age group you will be asked to undertake assessment, both skills based assessment and written work. 

Alternatively a certificate of attendance will be given to those who don't wish to take the assessment.

Course Fee: £400 (this can be paid in monthly instalments).
