Diploma in Adolescent Psychotherapy (2026 - 2027)

Course Overview

This one-year diploma explores the emotional, developmental, and psychological world of adolescence through an integrative, trauma-informed approach. It combines a strong theoretical foundation with experiential learning, reflective development, and ongoing supervision. Students engage with a range of psychological and therapeutic frameworks, including psychodynamic, humanistic, attachment-based, and systemic perspectives.

Both directive and non-directive approaches are explored, helping participants develop flexibility, creativity, and confidence in their clinical and relational work. Learning is supported through Moodle, a secure online platform for materials, readings, reflective activities, and assessments. Each student also receives a comprehensive course handbook detailing all modules, learning outcomes, and assessment guidelines.

Depth. Not just technique.

This course was built from depth.

It’s not about quick interventions or surface-level work.
It’s about developing your way of working, integrating what you are learning, and looking deep within yourself.
