TP Coaching Curriculum Overview
Overview: The 1-Year Transpersonal (TP) Coaching Program takes students through a profound, professional learning journey: inner work development and disciplined personal practice, to build a thorough foundation for working with clients.
Structured over 12 live weekend experiences and 41 weekly online lectures, students build skills & resilience, self-knowledge & authenticity, each an essential ingredient for becoming a powerful and effective Transpersonal (TP) Psychology coach. Below are the curriculum learning pillars of the program, which facilitate a student's transformation:
Learn-by-Experience: The learn-by-doing approach trains students interactively with live, in-the-room content, practices, partner and group work. Special emphasis is placed on felt, somatic experience, whereby learning content is experienced and then practiced with creative exercises to update maps of relating and meaning. Key areas also include TP coaching practice in live triads with guided supervision, Q&As, debriefs, methodology and technique reviews.
Self-Mastery: Required TP therapy and ongoing personal integral practice assessments cultivate a student's self-mastery, so they feel seasoned in their own transformation process. Consequently, students feel competent, confident, and authentic when working with clients through a client-centric transpersonal process.
Customised Approaches: Our TP psychology coaches are trained differently— trained to discover themselves through inquiry & practice: cultivating self-mastery to then personalise from selected tools and interventions, to work with their clients creatively & effectively.
Multi-Dimensional: tp-Institute's cross-pollinates theory and content of Eastern philosophy & discipline with Western Transpersonal depth psychology and process work. The Tantric Chakras and their elements provide an archetypal framework of healing and transformation, which coincides with the Jungian theories of the unconscious and processes of individuation. Eastern Yogic & Taoist philosophy coincide with the perspectives of Western contemporary philosophy. Humanistic coaching approaches of Carl Rogers will be supported by key contemporary transpersonal tools, techniques and interventions.
Trained & Qualified Differently: At tp-Institute, we have intentionally designed a TP psychology coaching program that streamlines, optimises, and refines the training process, selecting what is effective, disregarding what is erroneous and outdated, and amplifying what is profoundly impactful. Our unique blends of Eastern & Western perspectives, experiential learning and personal practice, provide the recipe to produce exceptionally skilled transpersonal psychology coaches and counsellors.

Syllabus Overview
Overview of syllabus: In summary, the progressive building of content relating to each of the Chakras and their elements provides the syllabus structure for the course. Depth and emphasis of the chakra themes will also directly relate to corresponding Western developmental psychology. Syllabus emphasis will also include: TP coaching protocol, ethics, safety, and the client-coach relationship within a client-centric process.
Learning Structure: Weekend modules will focus on a specific chakra as a container for further TP coaching theory and exercises. Certain chakras will be emphasised over more weekends than others depending on their developmental importance for students. For example, three weekends will be allocated to the root chakra, which relates to ancestral themes, embodiment, the mother connection/complex, and self-love.
Weekend structure: Saturdays will examine two content components and will include Personal Integral Practices (PiP), inquiry work, and inner work disciplines. Sunday will include PiP practice & review, TP coaching practice in triads (student-client-observer with supervisor). Weekly lectures will be virtual, three-hour sessions of content, practice, review, and Q&As on the Zoom platform.
Learning Content: The TP coaching syllabus will primarily focus on the philosophy & psychology of the Tantric Chakras and their elements, integrated personal practice (PiP), and the humanistic coaching approaches of Carl Rogers. Within these frameworks is an understanding of energy and how it creates the environment for aspects of self-awareness, transformation & integration. There will be a range of grounding subject areas which will be taught to anchor students in theory, concepts, and organisation, enabling application of tools and techniques with clients.
Client tools, techniques, and interventions will include Transactional Analysis for coaches and family constellation themes, including introductory resolution methods. TP Coaching Interventions & Techniques include: Archetypal Parts Integration (API), Integrated Healing Therapy (IHT), Core Belief Reprogramming (CBR), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Family Constellation Tracing (FCT).
Evaluation & Accreditation: Students will have assignments from live weekends and shorter reflective assignments from weekly online lectures. Personal integrating practice (PiP) reflection & journaling will be a progressive requirement, as well as ongoing TP therapy assessment.
Graduation and IACTM accreditation will require attendance of 315 hours of lectures & content, 75 hours of TP coaching placement (real coaching sessions), which may additionally be accrued during the live weekend hours, and 20 hours of guided supervision. For assignments, students will be required to write two extended-length essays and three client case studies.
