More information about the Level 5 Award

This Level 5 Award brings together cutting-edge parts work theory from different disciplines across psychotherapy and trauma therapy to add a versatile skill set to your practice. No one way works for all clients, and this includes parts work.

  • In this course, you will gain a deeper working-understanding of :

  • The Psychology of Selves model founded by Hal and Sidra Stone – Hall was a Jungian therapist and Sidra a Behaviourist – they have a psychospiritual element to their work

  • Voice Dialogue is the application of The Psychology of Selves model where the practitioner enters into a dialogue with their clients different parts

  • Structural dissociation is an important trauma theory founded by van der Hart, Nijenhuis & Steele and further integrated into sensorimotor psychotherapy by Janine Fisher

  • Internal Family Systems model founded by Richard Schwartz for inner child healing. Bessel Van Der Kolk on IFS: “the treatment method that all clinicians should know to treat clients effectively”.

  • Some clients gain a lot from moving positions, in the room, and talking from a part where their part really gets the opportunity to express themselves and be heard (voice dialogue) whilst other clients prefer the more internal and guided work of IFS. Structural Dissociation provides a sold theory to help clients understand their different parts whilst providing the therapist with the neurological understanding.

  • This Level 5 Award will both deepen and broaden your work with clients supporting you to assess and work with a range of complex client presentations, working safely and effectively.

  • Within this course there will be more theory, particularly around complex trauma, skills practice, discussion and time with the group to support you to integrate PARTS WORK practice into your client work.

We encourage the practice during peer groups in the training session but the meeting outside the class is not mandatory. Our training strongly emphasizes the practical application of skills and collaborative learning. You can expect to engage in skill practice, participate in triad sessions, and connect with peers during the training, all designed to enhance your learning experience.

  • Skills Practice: This course is the bridge between theory and real-world application. You should be well-prepared for skill practice sessions, where you can put your knowledge into practical use.

  • Triad Sessions: Collaborate with your peers in triad groups, actively engaging in discussions to exchange ideas and insights.

  • Peer Group Time: We invite students to connect with their peers to discuss the training, practice, and provide mutual support in the writing process.
