Overview

On the Therapeutic Communication and Therapeutic Organisations programme delivered at University of Essex we combine theoretical seminars, practical workshops, work-place learning, and an opportunity to focus on a theme that inspires you most. Your first term concentrates on developing therapeutic techniques in working individually with children and adults, whilst your second involves in-depth study of the dynamics of organisations. This includes theory, workshop and observational elements.

Your future
