Introduction

The Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy (ADEP) provides specialist psychotherapy training emphasising the challenges, innovations, and re-interpretations of the therapeutic encounter. It prepares participants for advanced professional work in private practice or institutional settings including the NHS.

Upon completion you are eligible to apply for registration with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Existential psychotherapy is a professional, down-to-earth form of therapy which responds to an inner curiosity to find out who we really are and how we really want to live. The emphasis is on a person’s existence rather than just his or her mind, their experience rather than psychological theories. The course provides a safe and contained setting for a deep and philosophical exploration and discovery of those elements which have a bearing on being and ways of working therapeutically with clients.

Focus

The practice of existential psychotherapy is informed by existential philosophy. The focus of this course is the practice of actively doing as opposed to talking about philosophy.  Although there is an intellectual demand in engaging with existential philosophy this is only a means for the possibility of breaking through into radical new understandings about the very way we make sense of phenomena.

Objectives

  • develop an advanced level of understanding and knowledge of existential philosophy
  • relate and apply what is learnt about the philosophical underpinnings of existential psychotherapy to one’s own life and work with clients
  • undergo learning experiences in existential philosophy which manifest as ethical existentially informed psychotherapeutic practice
  • engage with philosophical questions thus developing a philosophical attitude and openness which are sine qua non for an existential phenomenological practitioner
  • develop a critically reflective perspective on existential psychotherapy from the point of view of other modalities
  • develop a critically reflective perspective on other modalities from the point of view of existential psychotherapy
  • develop capacity for informed reflection on clinical practice
  • develop effective and ethical practice and to utilise supervision from peers and supervisors to achieve this
  • gain an understanding of research methods relevant to clinical practice in the field
