SAFPAC is a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee. Our focus is to provide a training in critical existential-analytic psychotherapy. The training. which mainly takes place on Thursday evenings and one Saturday a term, is normally held at Wimbledon Park Hall (Arthur's Cafe) 170 Arthur's Road, London SW19 7AQ (near Wimbledon Park Underground Station). However, because of COVID-19 this programme , together with the weekly one-to-one supervision/tutorials, etc are being conducted by Zoom or Skype.
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. These programmes in turn had commenced in 1978 at the Wolfson Medical Rehabilitation Centre in Wimbledon through South-West London College and the NHS. 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. In 2019, the programmes returned to Wimbledon at Wimbledon Park Hall (Arthur's Cafe). Throughout that period the trainings were in association with the Research Centre for Therapeutic Education, what is now The Research Group for Therapeutic Education at the University of Roehampton. Since then, SAFPAC's research and publications are carried out through SAFPAC's Research Unit for Therapeutic Education (RUTE). Term dates ACADEMIC YEAR 2019-2020

Phone 07817 758 824 Email enquiries@safpac.co.uk 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 Fees (£1000 per annum (or £375 per term) for the UKCP training and £750 per annum (or £275 per term) for CPD) can be paid termly and will be reviewed annually.
