Mission & Vision

We want to transform people’s relationships and circumstances for the better.

By striving to embedding systemic practice into family therapy we aim to support all people to challenge the oppressive and difficult aspects of their lives using relationships as resources.

Courses

Qualification as a systemic family psychotherapist is a four year process involving three discreet stages: a one year Introductory course, a one year Intermediate course, and a two year qualifying level course. We also offer a post qualifying supervision course. All our professional courses are accredited by the Association of Family Therapy.

The Institute of Family Therapy offers an extensive external training programme based on the core teachings contained in our In-House courses. This ranges from short introductory and subject specific sessions through to more comprehensive programmes.

Events

With so many new ideas forming from diverse practice settings and increasing attention placed on social justice issue, our series of trainings is designed to; explore and address real world practice problems, make a meaningful difference in the social world and include “diversity” of peoples, ideas and interventions.
