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.
