Before applying for Essentials, we recommend that you join one of our informal open evenings to find out more about psychosynthesis and our training and development programmes. The Open Evenings are free and currently held online.
Essentials is open to those to anyone interested in psychosynthesis and who want to embark on a transformative learning journey. There is no need to have previously trained in psychology to participate.
Please be aware that the course is experiential, which can be emotionally evocative bringing you into contact with your inner experience. Knowing what supports you is really useful, so if you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
The course is particularly suitable for:
You may be searching for meaning, purpose and a sense of place in an increasingly complex world. This course is about discovering your possibilities, gaining insight, energy and inspiration. It’s about putting what you want from life into practice, having better relationships and finding your own way.
Whether you would like to start a new career as a counsellor/psychotherapist or are interested in studying psychosynthesis as a transpersonal approach to your current profession, our Essentials course provides a powerful toolbox for your personal and professional life.
This course aims to help you connect with your inner resources and activate your will as well as the principles of wholeness and purpose.
Essentials is the first step and a prerequisite to become an accredited counsellor or therapist with the Psychosynthesis Trust (our professional training programme is accredited by the UKCP and BACP).
You may be interested in exploring transpersonal psychology as a mean to learn something more (perhaps something different) for your professional practice. Our Essentials course is designed to introduce you to psychosynthesis, a holistic and non-pathologising approach to help individuals overcome challenges, conflicts and dilemmas, to live their life in meaningful ways and to fulfil their truest potential.
The principal aim of our Admissions Policy is to offer admission to students irrespective of social, racial, religious and financial considerations. Selection criteria is holistic, using all the information available to us, which includes motivation, suitability for the course and commitment.
