BPC-Accredited Analytical Psychotherapy Training
The Analytical Psychotherapy Training has been a key part of the region’s therapeutic community since it was first established in 1990. Its purpose is to provide a high-quality learning experience through which graduates develop into competent, ethical and reflective practitioners of Analytical Psychotherapy. To support this mission, the Training Committee promotes an active, open-minded and well-informed culture of analytical practice across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, including an annual programme of public lectures.

Our Training Philosophy
Our training recognises that effective Analytical Psychotherapy relies not only on strong theoretical and clinical understanding, but also on the practitioner’s authenticity, self-knowledge and creative engagement with analytic process. We support trainees in developing personal authority and confidence, enabling them to work effectively across a range of approaches within modern analytical psychotherapy.
This reflects Jung’s core philosophy: nurturing autonomous individuals who contribute to a cultural tradition rather than conform to a rigid orthodoxy. While the programme is rooted in the theories of C.G. Jung and expanded by post-Jungian developments, it also draws on broader psychoanalytic and object-relations frameworks. Each subject is taught by specialists in the relevant field, ensuring a rich and diverse analytic learning experience.
