Post Graduate Psychotherapy Training

This course is for people who want to be the best psychotherapist they can be. For people who want to fully develop themselves and their ability to work with a wide range of clients with varied and complex issues. It is for people who want to be at the forefront of psychotherapy training; who want to be instrumental in the development of the profession and who want to work with tutors who are passionate about psychotherapy, research, ethics and professional standards.

Aim:

The primary aim of the programme is to ensure students are prepared to practice safely and effectively within the context of psychotherapy adhering to a recognised ethical and legal framework.

The programme therefore aims to:

Develop student’s critical thinking, analysis and appraisal skills enabling them to make innovative use of robust evidence for psychotherapy practice.

Enable students to gain knowledge, understanding and skills of contemporary psychotherapy interaction necessary to practice with clients at higher and deeper levels.

Develop and facilitate student’s personal growth and development that will enable them to reflect and work at levels of increasing complexity and sophistication.

Provide a multi-professional, inter-disciplinary learning environment for critical and reflective analysis of the practice of psychotherapy.

Training Philosophy:

The aim of the programme staff is to provide both a stimulating and varied learning experience and offer flexibility in their approach to teaching.

There is an emphasis on an interactive and supportive relationship between the Students and trainers and, therefore, the training group size is limited and rarely exceeds 15 members.

Students are expected to read and explore relevant theory alongside the training course and to take full responsibility for their own learning process. There are ongoing opportunities for students to discuss their progress.
