More information about the Advanced Certificate

This advanced certificate 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.

  • 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 advanced certificate 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.

  • Supervision time will be integrated throughout the training.

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