TP Coaching Curriculum Overview
Overview: The 1-Year Transpersonal (TP) Coaching program takes students through a profound, professional learning journey: working with their own inner-work development and disciplined personal practice to build a thorough foundation to work with clients.
Structured within 12 'Live' weekend experiences, and 38 weekly online segments within one year study, students build skill and resilience, Self knowledge, and authenticity, each an essential ingredient to be a powerful and effective transpersonal (TP) psychology coach. Below are curriculum learning pillars of the program, which facilitate a students transformation:
Learn-by-Experience: The learn-by-doing approach trains students interactively with direct ‘Live’ in-the-room content, practices, partner & group-work. Special emphasis is placed on felt experience, whereby learning content is immediately practiced and felt personally, assignments creating and updating maps of meaning. Additionally, experience is routinely discussed & shared in partnered and group settings with guided support and supervision. Key areas such as TP coaching practice in simulation will also be a primary focus, with in-the-room TP coaching triads, real-time supervision and then follow up and reviews.
Self-Mastery: Required TP therapy and personal integral practice cultivates a students' 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 transformation process. Confrontation with aspects of Self, often our shadow, parts which keep us inauthentic, limited and infantile, provide the deepest areas of insight & growth. As to this, emphasis will be placed upon working with these areas to provide a solid personal domain & foundation. Such valuable work will be held and nurtured within a safe and professional learning environment.
Customised Approaches: The coaches and counsellors that we train are different to most, because refined over the course of study, students are trained and encouraged to personalise their own approach to work with their clients. Anchored in their personal integrated practices, and drawing from a range of techniques and interventions, coaches and counsellors are encouraged to refine what works best for their own archetypal essence, personality and style in order to bring the preferred outcome for their clients.
Multi-Dimensional: The theory and content covered adhere to eastern philosophical models and western Transpersonal Psychology. The Tantric Chakras and their Elements provide an archetypal framework and the client research theories of pioneers such as Freud, Jung, Maslow & Grof, provide perspectives for western experience & its mindset. The Humanistic coaching approaches of Carl Rodgers will also be taught as a cornerstone of the client practice work. Key transpersonal tools & techniques, supporting these eclectic approaches will be: Integrated Healing Technique (IHT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)- core belief reprogramming and family constellation & gestalt/ parts integration.
Trained & Qualified Differently: Most healing professionals are largely trained academically, with most schools struggling to offer in-depth programs, where students arrive feeling personally transformed and confident to work with clients. At typinstitute we have intentionally designed a TP coaching program that streamlines, optimises and refines these traditional processes, carefully selecting what is effective, disregarding what is erroneous & outdated and amplifying what is profoundly impactful. Our unique blends of east and west content, experiential learning and personal practice, provides the recipe to produce the best transpersonal psychology coaches & counsellors available. Students emerge with greater inner integration, felt power & certainty and clear vision of what they can facilitate for their clients and manifest for their healing career ahead.

Syllabus Overview
Overview of syllabus: In summary, the essence of the TP coaching syllabus is to combine eastern philosophy and practice with western depth psychology with selected therapeutic coaching techniques. Syllabus emphasis will also be placed on: coaching protocol, ethics & boundaries, transference, safety & a client-centric focus.
Learning Structure: Each live weekend will be structured into two distinct segments. On Saturdays we will be examining two key theoretical subject areas of learning, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. At the beginning and conclusion of each day, there will be experiential, personal integral practices (PiP), inquiry work and inner-work disciplines consisting of chakra meditations, yogic somatic practices & pranayama (breath-work). Practices are alone or in partnered formats. The Sunday structure will again include personal practice and some review of content; however, it will be largely made of coaching practice in triads; (student-client-observer), with group and independent supervision.
Learning Content: The transpersonal coaching first year will in summary include a focus on the philosophy and psychology of Tantric Chakras & their elements, integrated personal practice (PiP): organisation and experience, and the Humanistic coaching & counselling approaches of Carl Rogers, including protocols and ethics inherent dynamics.
The second year will include a repeat of the Chakra modular structure with in-depth experience and research into their themes and shadow challenges. Further appreciation will include their archetypes and how they can be an effective map in a client-counsellor process. The second year will include the contributions of Freud in his psychotherapeutic theories as context to Jungian processes of archetypal complexes, shadow-work and pathways towards a clients collective unconscious themes and transcendent individuation process.
Students will also be individually guided to continue to follow a transpersonal process which acknowledges the first 3 layers of western psychology: Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behaviour & Humanist and goes further into Transpersonal: the lived, noetic experiences of the transcendent Self. Furthermore, the transpersonal layer will bridge East & West philosophy & theories together: providing a container for a broadened and adaptable perspective for client- coaching approaches.
For client tools, techniques and interventions, there will be now Transactional Analysis model (Pearls), for coaches, as well as introductory family systems theory (IFS) (Bowen), and family constellation (Hellinger) understanding and comprehension. A selection of the TP Coaching syllabus is as follows:
- Internal Parts Development: Critic, Self-love & Inner Child
- Jungian Shadow Work: Process & Integration
- Parts Work: Discovery, Relating, and Intergrating
- Introduction to our Sub Personalities & The Self
- East Vs West Philosophy Overview & Reframing
Evaluation & Accreditation: Students will have two assignments following each 'live' weekend and shorter reflective assignments, usually two, which will consolidate the weekly online lectures. Journalling and personal integrating practice (PiP) monitoring will be an ongoing reflection requirement. To graduate and to become accredited with IACTM, Zurich, students will be attend 450 hours of lectures & content as well as 450 hours of practice TP coaching placement (real coaching sessions). Of that 450 hours TP coaching practice students will be required to complete 112.5 hours of guided supervision. For assignments students will be required to write two extended length essays and to complete 3 client case studies. More information can be found by pressing the 'Syllabus In Depth' button below.
