Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Institute - Diplomas & Masters Degrees

CPTI offer two pathways to academic qualification in counselling; as a part of their TA training programme and in a Brief Intervention Psychological Therapies modular programme.

Transactional Analysis Counselling
TA counselling training offers a high degree of flexibility with a number of exit points and the option of continuing to an MSc in counselling or the qualification of MSc in psychotherapy and eligibility to be registered with UKCP.

A pre-requisite for entering this course is completion of the TA101 introduction to Transactional Analysis. The course starts with a three day introduction to counselling skills from which those who have already completed a recognised counselling skills course may obtain exemption. The complete foundation year training is twenty days; following the three day introductory course there are eight weekends of training in Transactional Analysis theory and application with particular reference to the development of the trainee in the group. There is an additional day allowed for the revision of theory and the practical elements of training at a post-graduate level including essay writing and case studies.

On successful completion of the foundation year training, measured by attendance, completion of projects and personal development, trainees are offered a place in an advanced training group. Advanced groups meet for nine scheduled weekends in a training year and an additional two days selected by individual trainees from a menu of subjects in our CPD programme according to their own developing interests.
