Integrating East & West for Holistic Growth & Transformation

It also offers short online courses focused on specific areas of psycho-spiritual development.
Why TP-Institute?
Why would you make a discernible choice of TP-Institute over any other recognised learning school? Good question.
At Transpersonal Institute (TP-Institute), we recognise a growing need & demand for healing professionals to be trained to a greater level of proficiency, depth & confidence. To achieve this, we offer programs grounded in experiential learning, with a focus on personal practice, and a priority placed on each student's individual inner healing process. From this foundation, students are able to embody their own transcendence, providing an authentic domain that can then be resourced for their clients.
At TP-Institute, we are committed to training transpersonal coaches & counsellors who are willing to face & master their challenging inner work in order to integrate the deepest parts of themselves. We understand that it takes authentic healing through practice & experience, to create excellent transpersonal guides. We are intent on cutting through any "bypassing" or "narrating around" our unhealed parts - and truly facing ourselves again and again.
By carefully selecting content & processes that are effective, disregarding what is erroneous or outdated, and amplifying what is profoundly impactful, we work to liberate our students to create, adapt and express themselves through their craft. Our courses aim to dissolve feelings of being an impostor, self-doubt, or a lack of trust in one's own inner creative intuition, guiding students toward their liberated creative energy, which can attune to their clients' most profound transformation and healing. By consciously sitting in the fire of transformation, as part of these uniquely personal healing programs, we can produce transpersonal psychology coaches & counsellors of the highest calibre.
If you are a yoga teacher, healing professional, or simply have a yearning to take your inner-work practices to deeper places while holding space for others in an exciting new life career, then these unique courses will speak directly to you.
What is Transpersonal Psychology?
Transpersonal psychology, the "Fourth Force" of Western psychology, includes the previous three layers in its lineage: Psychodynamic/Analytic, Behavioural, and Humanistic. However, the transpersonal layer expands this foundation by integrating the spiritual and transcendent aspects of human experience within the framework of modern psychology.
It proposes that human development can extend beyond the ego, into states of self-transcendence and expanded consciousness. Drawing from Western depth psychology and Eastern contemplative traditions such as meditation and mysticism, it explores both measurable psychological processes and subjective inner experience. In therapeutic and developmental contexts, transpersonal psychology emphasises self-actualization, meaning, compassion, and integration, offering a holistic understanding of human consciousness and actualised potential.
TP-Institute's Programs
tp-Institute's programs integrate the theory and processes of Western depth psychology with Eastern holistic philosophy & practice. It could be said that, because East & West are relatively Yin & Yang to one another, throughout each course journey their contributions to developmental psychology, archetypal behaviour, and philosophy & spirituality are integrated to support each students' holistic, experiential, and practical learning.
The 1-year Transpersonal Psychology Coaching credential offers students a robust, experiential transpersonal (TP)-accredited program to work with clients as part of a structured, transcendent process toward their fullest potential. It is developmental & transformation-oriented, focusing on clarifying direction or passions, improving skills, and enhancing future alignment and growth. It is typically present & future-focused, emphasizing action, accountability, authenticity and transformation.
The 2-year Transpersonal Psychology Counselling credential provides accreditation to work with clients in a more grassroots capacity, including conditioned early-life programming, lineage/ancestry, and parental influences, toward fuller individuation, integration, and healing. More therapeutic & remedial, it focuses on understanding and resolving emotional distress, psychological difficulties, or past experiences that are affecting a person’s well-being and functioning. It explores underlying causes, including historical or personal context, and addresses the integration of body & mind.
* IMPORTANT: The Transpersonal Coaching program forms the first year of study as part of the 2-year Transpersonal Counselling program.
Differences ~ TP Coaching & TP Counselling
- TP Coaching is developmental, and oriented towards a transcendent journey. It focuses on clarifying passions, improving skills, and enhancing future actualisation outcomes. It is typically present & future-focused, assuming the client is psychologically stable, emphasizing action, accountability, and change through awareness & clarity.
-
TP Counselling is therapeutic and remedial. It focuses on understanding and resolving emotional distress, psychological difficulties, or past experiences that are affecting a person’s well-being and functioning. It often explores underlying causes, including historical or personal context, and may address emotional states and programmed patterns. Put simply, it could be said that Counselling is Yin helping clients to understand and heal; while coaching is Yang, helping clients grow & transform.
Transpersonal Training Programs
TP-Institute Overview
Our Ethos is that by learning through experience & embodied Self-practice, one can achieve a sustainable foundation for Self-mastery, authenticity and personal transformation. Put simply, the emphasis of learning is through live interactive experience and a disciplined personal practice (e.g., inquiry, yoga postures, meditation, visualisations). When practiced with repetition and emotional investment, greater embodiment, Self-organisation, composure and resilience can be cultivated, which are just some of the ingredients of the higher calibre of transpersonal (TP) psychology coaches & counsellors that we train and accredit.
Our Mythos is that we weave Eastern philosophy & Western transpersonal depth-psychology together, which opens greater depth and a big picture perspective for each student's individuation and unfolding transcendent process. As part of this, a balance of Yin & Yang—passion & connection, resilience & structure—is cultivated, which creates a higher pedigree of healing professional.
The Approaches of our courses draw upon Eastern practical & philosophical models: Yoga, Tantric Chakras & elements, and Chinese Taoism, as well as Carl Jung's Western Archetypal Depth Psychology, which includes his insights into wholeness, individuation and Self-actualisation. Further, Western psychology approaches include the humanist counselling methods of Carl Rogers and transpersonal psychology's transcendent theories and experiences.
We are a team of UKCP, BACP, and IACTM licensed psychotherapists, spiritual counsellors, transpersonal psychology coaches and healing mentors. Each specialist contributes excellence in their craft, offering diverse approaches and experience in an eclectic, yet personalised format.
Endorsed and Accredited by the International Association of Coaches, Therapists and Mentors (IACTM), Zurich (TBC), tp-Institute qualifies Transpersonal (TP) Psychology coaches and counsellors to work as recognised Transpersonal psychology professionals globally.
Vision & Growth are at the heart of TP-Institute. We are constantly working to evolve ourselves, our courses, and the institute itself. In addition to the exciting 1 and 2-year programs, third- year program encompassing: Complexes (Jung), Archetypes (Jung & Hillman), Ancestry (Hellinger), Dream-Work, Mythology & Soul Healing is being planned & created. A fourth and fifth year in Tantra, Sound & Shamanism are also being envisioned. Coming soon!
