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.

How can you support the people who need your service most effectively?

How can you work more collaboratively with your colleagues?

What counts as therapeutic support for children, young people, or older adults?

Our Foundation Degree, comprising of one afternoon of teaching a week, offers a theoretical understanding and the practical tools for emotionally grounded therapeutic work with children, adolescents, and adults, whatever your role.

Using a psychodynamic framework, the course will help you develop a thorough understanding of the human processes within and around the people who use your service and the people who are trying to help them. We also equip you with an awareness of the wider dimension of organisational dynamics. Put together, these both will contribute to your development as an effective and perceptive practitioner.

You study:

• Psychodynamic theory
• Child and adult development
• Issues of trauma and violence
• The dynamics of therapeutic interventions in organisations

You also have the opportunity to develop your insight as a reflective thinker through reflective observation workshops.

After finishing this Foundation Degree, you have the opportunity to take a further one year course on campus to gain a BA Honours Degree.
