The Psychotherapy Institute four- year part-time training programme is a PG Diploma Level 7 course. The curriculum is written to adhere to the SCoPEd column C requirements of training and certification within the UK.
It will also allow you to progress to International Accreditation with the ITAA as a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) or a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (TSTA).
Psychotherapy and Psychotherapeutic Counselling taught at the Psychotherapy Institute is based on a relational and humanistic model of Transactional Analysis. This emphasises and privileges the relationship between the therapist and the client, focussing on the client’s desired and contracted-for therapeutic change.
