The institute will not be accepting a new intake in 2023 for THE Core training program
Our Philosophy and Approach We believe that becoming a psychotherapist involves training in a modality and personal development. Personal development requires a commitment to personal psychotherapy and supervision. The training program incorporates contemporary developments in the wider field and classical knowledge. The content draws on current infant research, neuroscience, attachment theory and contemporary relational theorists in addition to psychoanalysis and classical transactional analysis. Our overall aim is to encourage each trainee to find his or her own preferred style and identity as a therapist.
Transactional analysis training Transactional analysis provides a theory of personality and human relations offering systematic methods for personal growth and professional development. It is suitable for practitioners in counselling, psychotherapy, and related professions.
