The Institute offers a range of child psychotherapy, adolescent and child counselling courses, all of which offer students the richest of learning experiences. Several courses lead to nationally recognised registration, and there is a Masters Degree in Integrative Child Psychotherapy (accredited by London Metropolitan University).
In each of the child courses, the relationship with the child and specifically the conversational act, are informed by a synthesis of:
- Selective contributions from over 100 years of psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic theory and practice.
- Research studies on the neuroscience and psychology of human relationship and human development.
- Profound insights on the human condition from literature and the arts.
- The use of imagery, play and art is key to the therapeutic process in all the child courses at The Institute.
