About tp-Institute

tp-Institute is a personal development organisation dedicated to the training and formation of Transpersonal Coaches, Counsellors, and Therapists. Our approach brings together the wisdom of Western depth psychology and the transformative insights of Eastern spiritual traditions, offering a comprehensive pathway to healing, growth, and self-realisation.

Our faculty is composed of licensed psychotherapists, spiritual counsellors, transpersonal psychology coaches, and experienced healing mentors. Each member of our team contributes expertise in their craft, ensuring students are guided through a rich and diverse learning experience. Training at tp-Institute is eclectic, experiential, and grounded in both rigorous psychological understanding and embodied spiritual practice.

We are committed to cultivating practitioners who have undertaken profound inner work, integrating their own complexes, shadow aspects, and developmental knots so they emerge as grounded, self-aware, and ethically attuned professionals of the highest calibre.

At tp-Institute, we hold a vision of education as a catalyst for awakening. We believe that meaningful transformation occurs when individuals reconnect with their authentic nature, and our work is dedicated to supporting that journey for our students, our clients, and the wider community we serve.

TP-Institute Approaches

TP-Institute recognises that the four Forces of Western psychology all reside within Eastern & Western philosophy, as part of a spiritual whole. By bringing together East & West perspectives to broaden, enrich and strengthen our students, we provide the foundation for robust and resilient healing professionals.

By creating a curriculum that primarily trains students through experience and personal practice, this requires an embodied assimilation of material that is so often is the missing link in psychotherapy and traditional counselling programs. No longer destined to "act as" being the therapist or counsellor, embodiment and practice cultivate a richness of learning, energy awareness, adaptability and resilience: all essential ingredients in a therapeutic context.

Furthermore, by blending eclectic styles and approaches for students to utilise and adapt together as part of their own professional style, the energy, aliveness and creativity of the coach/counsellor-client dyad can breathe, flow and thrive. Here are some key areas of the curriculum that tp-Institute offers across both the 1- and 2-year TP courses:

• Yogic Practices: Yin Yoga, Chakra Meditation, Transpersonal Visualisation
• Tantric and Jungian Personal & Collective Archetypes
• Energy Healing Principles & Processes
• Tantric Chakras & Elements Methodology and Process
• Jungian Personality Typology
• Eastern Philosophy & Practice: Yogic, Buddhist, Tantric & Taoist (Yin & Yang) 
• Western Philosophy: Marcus Aurelius (Stoicism), Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Frankl (Existentialism)
• Gestalt (Pearls) and Internal Family Systems/ Parts (Schwartz)
• Inherited Trauma and Family Constellation theme-work and resolution
• Transpersonal Coaching/Counselling Approaches (Carl Rogers)

Additionally, Contemporary techniques & interventions taught within our programs include IHT, EFT, IFS-Parts/Gestalt, aspects of EMDR, Family Constellation Theme-work and Havening.

The difference in our approach lies in the way we train our coaches and counsellors—not only through experiential, "live" learning, but also through the consistent prioritisation of personal inner-work and practice, and transpersonal therapy. Both teachers and students embody continuous self-practice, which progressively dissolves the traditional client–therapist dichotomy. This integrated approach produces uniquely trained professionals who work seamlessly with both theory, energy, intuition & participation, as part of a client-centric transcendent process.  

What this means is that our graduates are conditioned to remain calm and responsive under pressure, insightful yet embodied for their clients. Rooted in experiential training, accountability and sustained self-practice, our transpersonal coaches and counsellors develop uncommon inner attunement, resilience and depth that generate unshakable levels of effectiveness for their clients.

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!
