Diploma HE in Counselling Children & Adolescents: 

WHCM have over 10 years experience of successfully delivering the Diploma HE in Counselling (Children and Adolescents), run in association with Anglia Ruskin University. We are the only organisation to offer this training in the Chelmsford area, and have a reputation for delivering experienced and knowledgable graduates. 

This 4 year part-time programme is run in Chelmsford City Centre on weekdays during the academic school year. More details can be found in the Course Brochure and Application Form (PDF file).

From September 2012 there are some important changes to the financial support available for higher education students. In summary, in most cases you:

  • No longer have to pay your tuition fees upfront

  • Can receive a loan to cover the cost of your tuition, which you start paying back when you are earning over £21,000 per year

More information on the new financial support arrangements are available below:

Certificate in Person-Centred Art Therapy Skills: 

For those who believe working with art can be a helpful, therapeutic and creative resource in their work setting WHCM offer a Certificate in Person-Centred Art Therapy Skills. This may include qualified counsellors, as well as those working in educational, therapeutic, social work, youth and medical settings. Art skills are not necessary for either students or clients.

This innovative course, originated by Liesl Silverstone, runs over three terms on Thursday evenings, in Chelmsford City Centre. There may also be an opportunity to undertake the course on Monday mornings, subject to course uptake.

There is an opportunity to sample the course content at a course taster session running in May 2013. For more information on this session, and to put your name on the delegate list, please contact Joan Bradshaw (Training Co-ordinator) on 01245 264348.
