We offer an IEDTA accredited three-year core training  programme based in Exeter in the South-West. Five face-to-face teaching and supervision blocks of two days per year, plus three online seminars with special guest speakers, and an annual in-person conference. 

Learn the theory and application of ISTDP including the underpinning psychoanalytic and attachment principles, psychodiagnosis, fostering conscious and unconscious therapeutic alliance, working with resistance, working with ego fragility, facilitating the experience of complex transference feelings, and unlocking the unconscious.

All core blocks will be Thursday-Friday outside of UK School Holidays. Course Fee of £2500 per year can be paid annually or monthly depending on trainee circumstances. We also accept NHS funding

This is a small group training delivered in the peaceful setting of the University of Exeter. There will be five face-to-face teaching blocks of two days per year. We use a competency-based approach with an emphasis on establishing clinical understanding and effective therapeutic practice. Trainees will be required to bring video recordings of therapy cases and will receive live supervision. There will be careful attention to individual and group processes to support the learning experience.
