Cogni-Enhance Coaching Programme for Counsellors
The Cogni-Enhance Coaching Programme for Counsellors at Boston City Campus gives counsellors, psychologists and learning support practitioners practical tools to understand what may be happening beneath behaviour when children struggle under pressure.
You will learn how to recognise when a child’s response is not only emotional or behavioural, but may be linked to cognitive overload. The course helps you identify where thinking starts to break down, so you can intervene earlier, support regulation more effectively, and help children function more consistently across home, school and support settings.
The Cogni-Enhance short course is offered via Boston City Campus’s flexible online distance learning model. Students receive structured academic guidance from online educators, alongside personalised study support or at any of our 50 Learner Support Centres nationwide.
