Clinical Associates are in the final part of their advanced training in Family and Systemic Psychotherapy. They will already be qualified in another related profession and have extensive experience of working with families, couples and individuals in other settings (including the National Health Service). All Clinical Associates receive regular professional consultation and keep up to date with new thinking and developments in the field. Clinical Associates are under the direct supervision of a senior therapist.

Because Clinical Associates are in the final part of their advanced training, IFT is not able to take referrals from clients who are involved in court proceedings.
