Welcome to the Southern Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling

Our focus is to provide a training in critical existential-analytic psychotherapy. The training, which mainly takes place on Thursday evenings and a Saturday a term, is at Whitelands College, University of Roehampton, Holybourne Avenue, London, SW15 4JD.
Should you be interested in the training, or in therapy or supervision, with one of the existential-analytic psychotherapists on our register, please feel free to contact us for more information. Prof Del Loewenthal (Chair) Dr Julia Cayne (Vice Chair) History We were formed in 1998 as the Surrey Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling from students, alumni and staff of the MSc and PhD in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Surrey. When in 2004 these programmes transferred to what became the University of Roehampton, and were subsequently joined by the PsychD in Psychotherapy and Counselling, the alumni association changed its name to the Southern Association of Psychotherapy and Counselling (SAFPAC). In 2015 SAFPAC was approved, through the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (UPCA), to provide a training that enables its successful students to go on the UPCA and United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) registers as existential-analytic psychotherapists. Throughout this period the trainings have been in association with the Research Centre for Therapeutic Education. Term dates ACADEMIC YEAR 2017-2018

Contact SAFPAC
Phone 07817 758 824 Email safpac.co@gmail.com The Training We aim to facilitate a place where we can develop others' and our own potency and potentiality for being in the world with others. Here we might also still be able to think about how alienated we are through valuing existential notions such as experience and meaning whilst questioning other aspects such as existentialism’s inferred narcissism and the place it has come to take up with regards to such aspects as psychoanalysis and the political. The post-existential would also include the post-phenomenological, where, for example, notions of being open to what emerges in the between (as well as of embodiment) would be given primacy.
Fees £1250 per annum, comprising £750 paid to the University of Roehampton for attendance on the Advanced Practitioner Programme and £500 to SAFPAC. Fees can be paid termly and will be reviewed annually. Bursaries are available in certain situations. Click here for more details. In addition, participants will have to pay for clinical supervision and personal therapy. Click here for more information. MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING
