About the programme
-
Programme structure
The course is a full-time training course. Students work as trainee child psychotherapists in a clinical setting alongside weekly attendance at training events which take place at the Tavistock Clinic on Wednesdays and Thursdays in term time. Trainees complete a number of clinical cases under supervision. These include both intensive and non-intensive, long-term psychotherapy cases with children and young people of different ages and with a range of difficulties, as well as a variety of other clinical interventions such as brief work, family interventions and group work. This clinical experience is supervised, recorded and documented in the way required for qualification as a member of the Association of Child Psychotherapists and a portfolio of written work is prepared for submission for assessment for the award of M.Psych.Psych.
