Psychotherapy Training Group
These modules are for TA trainees who have completed 2 years of TA training as well as students who have a core model in another humanistic and integrative approach such as Person Centred or Gestalt. Working from a core model the student will construct a unique blend of their core model with other systems that training at Elan provides them with. In the end every humanistic and integrative psychotherapist is different utilising what works with their core model and what blends with their values. They integrate into their practice a unique synthesis of what they consider to be effective psycho-therapeutic approaches.
