Postgraduate Certificate in Psychosynthesis Studies

A One-Year Professional Development Programme (stand alone or leading to the Master of Arts programme in psychosynthesis psychotherapy) validated by the University of East London.

"Our ordinary conscious experience is not the most representative of who we are; but other ways of being more appropriately express our real nature - broader, truer and happier ways."

Postgraduate Certificate

An intensive part-time programme for counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists trained in other therapeutic traditions, who wish to understand the visions, principles and practice of Psychosynthesis.

Transpersonal psychology, the fourth force in modern psychology, is increasingly being recognised by practising therapists as an essential area to be integrated into their professional life. Psychosynthesis offers a model and methodology which addresses this need and embraces the transpersonal and the psychological within a holistic model.

Psychosynthesis Principles and Methodology address:

>	Despair and Existential Crisis
>	Longing for deeper fulfilment and awareness of essential identity
>	The need for meaning and purpose in life
>	The creative use of pain, crisis, and failure
>	Multiplicity in the personality. The ‘I’ and a sense of identity
>	Self Realisation and psychological disturbances
>	Spiritual awakening and associated crises
>	The evocation of will, power, and Self affirmation
>	Beyond the individual to their interface with others, society, and global issues
>	The shadow side of human experience and its necessary inclusion in therapeutic work as fundamental to Psychospiritual health and well being.
