Journal Therapy

About the Journal Therapy Certificate

Journal therapy is a type of writing therapy, different to keeping a journal or a diary. It is a form of expressive self-therapy focusing on reflective writing to achieve a creative and emotional release.

This home study course includes modules on devices and techniques, journaling, creativity, going from personal problems to personal joy, as well as the Jungian concept of exploring dreams and fantasies.

Who should study this course?

This distance learning course is suitable to therapists who want to explore a different range of techniques, to improve the quality of therapy for their clients. Many clients enter therapy with a strong sense of apprehension, which makes it difficult for them to fully benefit of the treatment to its full extent. For many this form of self-introspection is an easier way to open up.

As with any of our courses, you do not need to have any prior experience or qualifications to enrol straight away on this learning journey. All you need is a way to access the online study materials and the motivation to complete this course.

What happens after the course?

At the end of this course you will gain key skills in journal techniques, and a powerful tool in helping clients get the best out of their therapy session. You can complement your studies further with other therapy courses, studying new techniques.

Therapy provides a great field of practice for anyone with a genuine interest in helping people. Some of the career paths you could be following are:

  • Psychotherapist
  • Child counsellor
  • Armed forces therapist

Polite, informative and non-pushy!

Polite, informative over the phone experience. Able to support with my decision making process when it came to selecting which course would be right for me and my career direction. Was also able to talk me through different payment options and which would be most beneficial for me without it feeling like a pushy sales pitch.

God bless the Student Success Coordinator!

When I purchased and committed to this online course I had no idea how difficult I would find completing a qualification in this way. I am autistic and have ADHD and I massively underestimated my challenges with regards to this format. I simply would not have been able to complete this course if it were not for the support and understanding of my student success coordinator, Kiera. She was my saving grace, with her encouragement, positive attitude and help with generous extensions. This enabled me to have time to seek out the outside help I needed to overcome certain technological obstacles and to master the belief that I could really do what was required. The speed-grading subscription option was also very helpful at one point. The service was excellent and even quicker than promised. I would hesitate before committing to any purely online qualification again, as I think there are not many yet made truly accessible for all neurodivergent people and their needs, but I would recommend learn direct to someone, if they were going to undertake one. This is because of the kindness and accessibility of the online support staff that I experienced. Kiera is a wonder.
