Educational psychotherapy is suitable for individual or small groups of children in an educational, mental health or private setting. People from a wide range of backgrounds find the course important in developing their skills and knowledge. This course is for you if you are a classroom teacher in a mainstream or a special school, learning mentor, nurture group practitioner, educational psychologist or a teacher in a specialist unit or support service for children with behavioural or learning difficulties.

"I think the over-riding enlightenment for me was the simple concept of keeping the child in mind. It is often frustrating and disheartening to share time in a classroom with children who don't really appear to have anybody who really keeps them in mind."
