ABOUT US

Discover Who We Are

Psychosynthesis is not a series of techniques to be learnt, it is a psychology for life and a context from which to live. It honors every one of us as a spiritual beings on a journey towards the awakening of our true nature, going from our own more selfish concerns towards those of the wider human family, all life and our environment.

Our Fundamentals course is the first step on the psychosynthesis journey. It offers a deep experiential exploration of self and life, and is the prerequisite for all our professional training programmes.

This Institute was founded in 1973 with the agreement of Dr Roberto Assagioli after our founders Joan and Roger Evans trained with him in 1973.

In 1975 The Institute went on to create the first professional psychosynthesis training programme in Europe, and later became a founding member of the UK council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

Since then, we have added additional professional qualifications and university validated MA programmes which were first validated in 1996.

Inner change
leads to
social change.

Here at the Institute for over 50 years we have guided individuals towards their authenticity which we call Self. It involves deep personal work, breaking old patterns and the courage to embark on a journey into our shadow, and the parts of ourself that we may not be aware of, would rather not show or even admit to.

To undertake such a heroes journey and to reconnect with who we truly are, we believe, is what is necessary to create authentic relationships and a new earth. We take individuals with this new inner ground and apply this context to professional qualifications in therapy or coaching, or individuals take this context into their life and current work, and thus serve humanity in transition.
