The Child Psychology & Child Counselling Level 3 Diploma is a CPD-accredited course designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of child development, emotional wellbeing, and behavioural patterns.

Curriculum of Child Psychology & Child Counselling Course
Module 01: Introduction to Child Psychology
Explore the foundational principles of child psychology, including the study of behavioural, emotional, and cognitive development in children from infancy through adolescence. This forms a basis for understanding the core principles of child counselling.
Module 02: Factors that Influence Development
Examine the biological, environmental, social, and cultural factors that influence a child’s physical and psychological growth, including family dynamics and early life experiences. These areas are key considerations in effective child counselling practices.
Module 03: Cognitive Development
Understand key theories of cognitive development, such as those by Piaget and Vygotsky, and how children acquire language, memory, problem-solving, and thinking skills over time. Such cognitive insights inform tailored approaches in child counselling sessions.
Module 04: Social and Emotional Development
Gain insight into the socialisation process, emotional regulation, and the development of empathy, friendships, and social identity during childhood—central elements addressed in child counselling to support emotional growth.
Module 05: Personality and Intellectual Development of Children
Learn about the stages of personality formation, intelligence testing, and how temperament, parenting styles, and experiences shape a child’s sense of self.
Module 06: Understanding Moral Development
Study the process by which children develop a sense of right and wrong, and explore key moral development theories such as those by Kohlberg and Gilligan.
Module 07: Impacts of Separation and Loss on Attachment
Discover how events like parental separation, divorce, or bereavement affect attachment and emotional stability, and explore the role of supportive interventions such as child counselling to restore emotional balance.
Module 08: Attachment Disorder
Understand the causes and symptoms of attachment disorders, including reactive attachment disorder (RAD), and how these can affect a child’s ability to form healthy relationships. Interventions through child counselling can play a vital role in treatment.
Module 09: Attachment-Focused Parenting
Explore therapeutic parenting approaches that nurture secure attachments and emotional resilience in children with disrupted or insecure attachment histories, often used alongside child counselling.
Module 10: Interventions, Treatment and Support
Examine common psychological therapies and support strategies used in child counselling, including play therapy, cognitive behavioural interventions, and school-based support.
Module 11: Signs of Child Neglect
Learn to identify the physical, emotional, and behavioural signs that may indicate neglect, and understand the long-term effects on child development and mental health.
Module 12: Risk Factors for Neglect
Explore common risk factors associated with child neglect, such as poverty, substance abuse, family conflict, and mental health issues in caregivers.
Module 13: The Impact of Child Neglect
Understand the short- and long-term developmental, emotional, and psychological consequences of neglect, including issues in learning, attachment, and self-esteem—areas often addressed in child counselling sessions.
Module 14: Prevent Child Negligence
Learn prevention strategies to reduce neglect, including community-based programmes, early intervention services, safeguarding policies, and multi-agency collaboration.
Module 15: Child Mental Health in Recent Times
Examine current mental health trends affecting children today, including anxiety, depression, and behavioural disorders, as well as the influence of technology, bullying, and social media. These trends continue to shape the focus and methods of modern child counselling.
