Training to become a psychotherapist is not only an academic journey — it is a personal, relational, and professional transformation. This page brings together the key practical elements that shape your experience throughout the programme. Here you will find everything you need to navigate your training with clarity, confidence, and structure — from academic expectations to the rhythm of the training year.
Psychotherapy training involves three parallel processes:
· Learning theory – understanding psychological models and therapeutic approaches
· Developing clinical skills – learning how to think, assess, and intervene as a therapist
· Personal growth – becoming more aware, reflective, and emotionally grounded
The sections below will guide you through the practical framework that supports these processes..
