Feedback from the 2025 Programme:

“Overall I thought this course was an excellent introduction to Analytical Psychotherapy that
was accessible and relevant to all in the room, even though the professional and personal
backgrounds were diverse.
People come to analytical psychotherapy in many different ways, and this introduction was
able to bring all onboard without losing sight of the fact that there are very definite and difficult
concepts to come to grips with.

In one session, the chance to read The Red Book with others was a real treat for me and to be
able to express myself on the material.
In another session, the opportunity of weaving together Jungian thought with practice was
invaluable.

Each session brought something new for me, some topics being more challenging than others,
but overall I have been left with the confidence to continue my journey.” LT, 2025

Feedback from the 2024 Programme:

“Thank you to all involved for a really enriching, enjoyable and stimulating variety of sessions around the Analytic way of working. I decided to partake in the course as an experienced counsellor curious about working at a deeper level with my clients. I feel the course has more than whetted my appetite for continued learning and it has been helpful both personally and professionally as I integrate the experience into my life and work. I did not at all know what to expect but I’m so glad I decided to take part.” CM, 2024

“I found the “Introduction to Analytical Psychotherapy” course an enriching experience. One of its standout features was the impressive variety of speakers, each bringing unique perspectives and expertise to the subject matter covered.

The course delivered on its promises, providing a solid foundation in analytical psychotherapy while also encouraging deeper exploration of its concepts. The value for money was exceptional, as the content, speaker diversity, and engaging delivery more than justified the cost.” LE, 2024
