Susan Osborne
Susan Osborne Counselling Children and Young People
I’ve worked in education for over 20 years, but in recent years I’ve spent more and more time offering emotional support to children, some of whom are wrangling with quite difficult issues. Although I had a basic counselling skills certificate, that didn’t seem enough. Counselling Children and Young People gave me a range of practical strategies I could use in my every day work with young people, as well as understanding more about the underlying issues. It was also useful to have contact with other students who were experienced counsellors – it gave me a completely different perspective on some issues.
