​

The training combines perspectives from:

​

• Psychology

• Neuroscience and neurobiology

What Makes the Training Holistic?

​​

A holistic approach recognises that emotional and psychological wellbeing cannot be separated from the wider context of human life.

​​

This includes:

​​

• Physical and nervous system states

• Emotional experience

• Relationships and attachment

• Meaning and purpose

• Imagination and creativity

• Spirituality and existential reflection

• Environment and embodiment

• Identity and life transitions

​

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or behavioural change, the programme explores how these dimensions interact within the unfolding experience of being human.

​

A More Integrative Approach to Psychology

​

Many conventional psychological approaches focus primarily on diagnosis, cognition, symptom management, or behavioural intervention.

 

Our Level 6 Diploma expands this perspective by exploring broader questions such as:

​

• How does identity develop?

• How do people make meaning from experience?

• What contributes to fragmentation or disconnection?

• How do imagination, creativity, and symbolism influence psychological life?

• What role do spirituality and existential questioning play in human development?

• How can people move toward greater integration, coherence, and self-awareness?

​

This creates a more developmental and integrative framework that values both scientific understanding and lived experience.

​
