Our Level 6 Diploma in Creative Therapeutic Practice for Children & Young People, accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Awarding Body (CPCAB), is now open for enrolment. Acceptance onto the course is subject to a short Zoom interview. This Diploma is suitable for Arts Therapists, Counsellors, and practitioners from related fields who wish to develop their creative therapeutic practice skills and support the emotional well-being of children and young people (CYP). Delivered by our team of highly skilled and experienced therapist-educators, the course runs over 11 Saturdays, including one weekend. Year 1 focuses on theory, experiential learning, and creative self-reflection. Year 2 is practice-based, with a clinical field placement under the close supervision and mentoring of one of our expert clinical supervisors, included in the course fee. Our carefully curated curriculum covers: Working safely and ethically as a practitioner Principles of therapeutic language and practice Child development, attachment, and trauma Neuroscience and safeguarding Child mental health, suicidal ideation, and self-harm Neurodivergence and working with families Supporting children and young people in school settings By integrating theory, supervised practice, and self-reflection, learners will gain the tools to design safe, creative, and responsive Tier 2 interventions, enabling CYP to access early support before issues escalate and require more intensive services.
