Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

All BPC accredited trainings consist of academic teaching, clinical work and personal psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Find out more about the training components on our page about how we accredit trainings.

Once qualified, those who have undertaken a training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and hold membership with the relevant Member Institution, will be eligible to register with the BPC as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapists are trained to work generally up to 3 times a week, usually with the patient on the couch. The work is about making conscious the unconscious and often uses the patient therapist relationship to work through issues of everyday life.
