Welcome to the Australian College of Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapy

 

The College offers professional somatic (body-oriented) psychotherapy and counselling training, academic courses and personal development programs in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra of 1 to 3 years duration at both certificate and diploma levels.

Our innovative experiential adult education approaches, self-directed small group learning and a diverse team of highly qualified, stimulating and engaging teachers ensure a high standard of personal learning, student engagement and development in all our courses.

The learning of psychotherapy theory and practice occurs within a safe and creatively structured learning environment in which both individual difference and group cohesiveness is supported and maintained. Critical and post-modern approaches to psychotherapy theory and practice are encouraged. The personal development of each student is considered to be just as important as the learning of psychotherapy theory and practice.

The course introduces students to body oriented, psychodynamic and phenomenological approaches to psychotherapy and counselling theory and practice within a post modern deconstructive context, with particular emphasis on 'embodied intersubjectivity' and the unfolding of experience.

Our focus is on Contemporary approaches to somatic psychotherapy and counselling theory and practice and on Contemporary adult learning methods. We attempt in the training programme to 'walk the talk' or in other words to 'practice what we preach'.
