About this course

Learn the practical tools for emotionally grounded therapeutic work with children, adolescents, and adults. This is an online version of our FDA Therapeutic Communication and Therapeutic Organisations. This course is taught through distance learning meaning the entire two years of the course is taught online with no face-to-face, in-person teaching.

You will graduate with the same qualification as our campus based FDA, the only difference being you will attend all teaching virtually and not on campus. This Foundation Degree is designed for people who want to develop therapeutic and psychodynamic skills to support children, young people, and adults in care, education, and support settings. Delivered one afternoon per week, the course combines academic learning with practical insight to help you develop as a reflective and effective practitioner.

There is also a campus based version of this course available for those who wish to study in person.
