What we do & how we do it..

Intention

At typInstitute, our mission is to train the most insightful, well-rounded, and evolved Transpersonal Coaches, Counsellors, and Therapists found anywhere in the world.

We achieve this by guiding students to become comfortable with what is experientially challenging within the body, emotions, and mind. Through courage, skill, and sustained practice, students learn to transform, transcend, and cultivate deep self-knowledge and maturity.

It is through this process of embodiment, integration, and individuation that typInstitute nurtures genuine mastery in the craft of Transpersonal Coaching and Counselling.

Ethos

Our ethos is simple, and yet undeniable. To embody change within one-self is to vibrate at a frequency, where clients can organically transform in alignment with this energetic field of potential. Upgrading common intellectual approaches to achieving certification, at typInstitute, we take holistic approaches within a container of personal experience to create competence and resilience as a foundation to the TP Coaches and Counsellors that we train.

Building upon experience and practice, we add repetition and emotional intensity to train our therapists to hold space, offer choices, and embody awareness — guiding their clients toward their fullest potential. A passion for their craft, combined with self-knowledge, attunement, and compassion, allows our graduates to become highly confident and evolved transformational professionals.

typInstitute’s spirit is rooted in the belief that learning through experience provides the most profound and sustainable foundation for self-mastery. Conscious experience enriches self-awareness, allowing insight, authenticity, and raw personal creativity and potential to unfold. The art and strength required to develop and contain such potential mature us — enabling deeper connection, genuine expression, and the capacity to fully share ourselves with the world. To live in it, yet not of it — interdependent, not co-dependent — is the essence of this transpersonal path.

Rooted in the ethos of Gandhi's: "Be the change you want to see in the world." and Carlos Castaneda's: "Choose a path with heart.", we are orientated and passionate about becoming our most authentic potential through heart-felt practice, in order to share to others.

Mythos
typInstitute’s mythos is rooted in the classical wisdom and observations of both East and West, encompassing philosophy and psychology, energetic and conceptual frameworks, and archetypal and societal perspectives.

The process of revealing and healing — discovering and accepting — unfolds through the unveiling of truth, ultimately leading to balance. This means that what we discover within ourselves and perceive in others is consciously worked with, so it can be seen, known, accepted, trusted, and refined.

We acknowledge that we are all a mysterious mosaic of conscious and unconscious parts, in the process of integration and balance. Examples include our yin and yang aspects, masculine and feminine energies, elemental constitutions, and our internal and external Selves. These are all vital components of the Self, worked with to become individuated, balanced, whole, and integrated as part of our personal journey of discovery.

In this process, typInstitute conveys, within each student’s unfolding, the primary observations and principles of ancient Eastern and Western mythology. The maps of the Tantric Chakras and their elements, Western depth psychology archetypes, Eastern symbolism of Shiva Shakti, Yin and Yang, and philosophies from both East and West all contribute to — and are infused within — this journey.

Approaches

By integrating Eastern and Western psychology and philosophy, students are empowered to confront their ongoing individuation and journey toward wholeness. Study and practices cultivate a balance of yin and yang, resilience and strength, which is essential for the development of the high-calibre transformational professionals these programs evolve.

At typInstitute, we focus on the growth of the student rather than simply training them to be a coach or counsellor. By placing attention on the Self, we organically cultivate mastery of their craft — from the inside out. This essential unfolding and containment within the role of the professional forms the essence of excellence and maturity produced.

Tools, Interventions and Practices

The techniques taught to support client work for our TP Coaches and Counsellors vary depending on the course untaken. However, both programs share several core approaches, including experiential Gestalt (Perls) and Parts Work (Schwartz) interventions, as well as Family Constellation (Hellinger) and inherited family theme interventions (Wolynn), all of which form part of the students’ professional toolbox.

Additionally, Transactional Analysis will be taught to both coaches and counsellors, alongside non-touch somatic practices, visualisations, and meditations rooted in yogic and tantric chakra philosophy. Students will also learn a range of tools to assist with transpersonal coaching and counselling processes involving somatic awareness, guided meditation, and visualisation techniques.

These practices — including chakra meditation and the Integrated Healing Technique (registered and trademarked by Lois Pimentel) — incorporate methods drawn from Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Havening, and core belief reprogramming based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles.

Important notice: All approaches, tools, interventions, and practices — including their emphasis and depth — will be carefully tailored to align with each student’s safety, legal, and governing body requirements.

Outcomes and Professional Pathways

Students can confidently expect to emerge from their course of study as proficient, organised, and inspired Transpersonal Coaches and Counsellors, fully prepared to begin a new career in personal and client transformation. Graduates develop both the competence and confidence to practise within the field of Transpersonal Psychology, supported by ongoing resources, client referrals, and supervision through TYP’s associated professional network.

Additionally, students will realise that their exciting new profession, while maintaining a client-centric focus, becomes a natural source and extension to their own inner-work transformation. A main component of this symbiotic client-professional unfolding, resides in the cultivated foundation of personal practice, which all students are required to develop within their course journey.

The one-year Transpersonal Coaching course enables students to begin practising—and in many cases earning—within six months of study. Placement opportunities and discounted trainee sessions are available through the typInstitute student database, providing clients with low-cost appointments while giving students invaluable real-world experience and a way to support their studies financially.
