MA Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching
Diploma in Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching
The challenge for leaders today in an increasingly complex and changing environment is to become more authentic to themselves and to the people they work with. Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching provides a context for working with the realisation and expression of the Self within the context of leading self, others and systems. To ‘hold’ and support leaders in this way requires a depth of psychological training and psychospiritual awareness, combined with advanced coaching skills.
Module 3C is the Coaching Module which provides this coach training and development, leading to Professional Coach Accreditation with EMCC alongside an Institute diploma award in Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching. Module 3C follows on from Module 2C Coaching Skills Training option, after which students begin coaching practice with group supervision at the end of Module 2.
With the addition of a Coaching Thesis, students can gain an MA in Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching award, which is quality assured by Middlesex University.
Module 3C can also be attended as a standalone course by previous Institute graduates or current counselling students, leading to an Institute Diploma in Psychosynthesis Coaching (this replaces the previously offered Diploma in 5DL Coaching).

PT7a Triphasic Model (2 days)
Course Aims: the Triphasic Model developed by Joan Evans (1995) provides an illuminative, diagnostic framework for psychospiritual psychology. Here we identify and explore the three dimensions of consciousness: the prepersonal, the personal and the transpersonal; to enable students to deepen their understanding of psychosynthesis as a context.
CT6a Transference and Countertransference (2 days).
Course Aims: to deepen the notions of transference and countertransference and understand theoretically the importance of transference and countertransference in the containment of the psychotherapeutic setting and practically consider ways of working with these dynamics in the client setting.
