We train independent psychotherapists, aligned with international standards — a faster, more flexible and more affordable route into the profession than the traditional academic path, taught by leading therapists from top universities.
We work with people who work with people. Wherever you start, you finish with skills, certificates, and access to global market and community.
New to all this?
Start a new profession from the ground up. No prior clinical background needed — the path takes you from coaching foundations to qualified therapy.
Already lead people?
Coaches, HR partners, managers and teachers who want real therapeutic skill in the work they already do — and the credentials to back it.
Already practising?
Add international experience, recognised certification and a wider reach, with mentoring and a network of senior practitioners.
Specialists from leading universities, each teaching their own area, dubbed into your language. Senior therapists curate, mentor and connect.
Independent psychotherapy gives you rigorous scientific, psychological and therapeutic training — aligned with international standards, with more flexible programmes and lower tuition than the traditional academic route, and a path that lets you start practising sooner.
An IPSB-accredited course. IPSB is an independent standards board that issues ISO-registered certification of therapeutic knowledge — validated to the same bar as clinical therapists, regardless of country or route. Because our course is accredited by IPSB, completing it also earns their certification.
Your core credential is the Certificate in Independent Psychotherapy, awarded by the Academy at every level you complete. As a bonus you also receive independent IPSB certification of your therapeutic knowledge — and, where your knowledge matches their frameworks, traditional local qualifications.
Previews shown for illustration — your name and the level you complete are printed on each certificate when it is issued.
Programme levels shape your journey — most run six months, each earning new, internationally recognised psychotherapy qualifications.
Every level gives you practical skill you can use from day one — across three directions:
Work through your own psychological challenges and grow as you learn.
Bring psychological skill into your work, leadership and everyday relationships.
Help other people directly, as a paid practitioner.
Estimate how your income could grow with the programme. Move the slider and pick your starting point.
Human, relational skill is the part technology can't replace. As AI spreads, demand for people who do this work well rises with it.
AI-resilientListening, questioning and steadying people apply in almost any profession — and improve every relationship you have.
Each cohort is small enough to be known by name, with a curator who stays with you and a specialist for every module.
One senior practitioner guides your group from the first week to the last — answering questions, running a weekly live meetup, and keeping every member's progress on track.
Weekly live meetupStudy from anywhere — live sessions plus self-paced material, with recordings you keep.
Small groups that learn together, practise together and stay connected long after.
Every module is taught by an expert in that exact area — real depth, never generalist.
Live teaching and self-paced material you can return to whenever you need it.
Weekly group meetings for questions, case talk and shared experience.
Supervised, hands-on practice in the modules and stages where it matters most.
Regular supervision of your client work with a senior practitioner.
Your own therapy — central to the training and expected of every practising therapist.
A curator and mentor for your questions, cases and progress, week to week.
The independent psychotherapist qualification is built to flourish alongside technology — using it to learn faster and to work better, with the human relationship at the centre.
Human, relational work is the part technology cannot replace. As AI spreads, the demand for people who do this well rises with it.
Simulated clients and instant feedback let you practise difficult moments safely, compressing months of experience into weeks.
Bring AI into your practice where it genuinely helps — preparation, notes, follow-up — while you stay the therapist in the room.
Your certificate is awarded by the Academy for the knowledge you complete. IPSB — an independent standards board — additionally validates that knowledge alongside clinical therapists, and our course is IPSB-accredited, so it aligns with their assessments. IPSB certifies knowledge only.
As your skill in the programme reaches the level of a recognised local standard, we issue that country’s qualification level for you — automatically, with no separate application.
Your independent psychotherapist level is set globally by IPSB; your therapist track is then mapped to local frameworks.
Everything you need to start practising and earning surrounds the qualification, included from day one.
Practice placements and a referral channel so paying clients start arriving while you are still training.
Members ranked by stage, so there is always someone above to learn from and someone below to teach.
A platform to set up and run your coaching or therapy practice — bookings, notes and payments in one place.
Top graduates are invited to curate future cohorts — a recognised, paid role within the Academy.
Standing access to closed events, masterclasses and case clinics — for as long as you stay a member.
Reduced certification and recertification fees with IPSB, for the rest of your practising life.
Career-changers, coaches and practising therapists, from every kind of starting point.
The same profession — without the debt a vocational course or a university degree can carry.
