Description Counselling children and young people Diploma Counselling for children and young people has a significant role to play in order to maintain their mental health. It is not at all a daunting task for teachers, parents and other adults to figure out signs of disturbed mental health in a child or adolescent. Upon identification of any change in mental health, a process should be in place to allow the concerned child or young person to be taken, with their consent, to a counsellor. Counselling not only boosts the well-being of children and young people but also encourages them to take positive decisions for themselves. So, basically, counselling is a kind of intervention, that, if done appropriately and sometimes early, proves to be immensely effective in improving mental health, especially for children and young people. There are many theories that have been proposed to explain various aspects of counselling. Popular among them are by Jean Piaget, Vygotsky, John Bowlby, etc. This course 'Counselling Children and Young People' examines various therapeutic strategies and approaches for counsellors working with children and young people in various conditions. It also analyses various issues faced by them. If you love children and would like to spend time with them, then this is the perfect course to choose. Upon completing this course you will be able to work as child counsellors, academics and trainers.

LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, MG, YA, ADULT FICTION Clare Wallace joined the Darley Anderson Agency in January 2011 and is building both the Darley Anderson Children’s Agency and the Darley Anderson Illustration Agency lists as well as taking on adult fiction for debut authors. Clare is particularly looking for funny chapter books for younger readers at the moment, as well as contemporary MG, YA fantasy, romance, and rom coms, especially with underrepresented protagonists. For picture books she has the widest taste, from daft to lyrical, rhyming to prose. As well as being busy with the children’s and illustration agencies, Clare is open to debut adult fiction submissions that could be described as book club, rom-com, romance, saga, reading group, fantasy or historical fiction. She often doesn’t know what she’s looking for until she finds it (although she is not the person for steampunk or space opera). She represents picture books, middle-grade, teenage and YA and debut adult fiction. The clients Clare represents include Perdita & Honor Cargill, Caroline Crowe, Tom Ellen, Martyn Ford, Stewart Foster, Olivia Hope, A M Howell, Polly Ho-Yen, Rachel Ip, Beth Reekles, J.P. Rose, Lindsay Galvin, Dave Rudden, Deirdre Sullivan and Efua Traoré. Whatever the age range, Clare loves a big hook, a lot of heart, and a standout voice. She loves to discover memorable new characters, bold and unique voices, strong concepts and gripping storytelling. This list gives a good indication of Clare's taste but if your submission doesn’t fit a description here, it doesn’t mean Clare doesn’t want to receive it. Clare would like you to send a covering letter, a one page synopsis and the first three chapters (Max 5000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document. For picture books, please submit a covering letter and up to three completed texts. Please send EITHER picture books OR another genre, not both in one submission. (In addition to the paid sessions, Clare is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented writers.
