Seminar Leaders Needed – Psychodynamic and Jungian Theory for Qualified Practitioners

Closing date for expressions of interest: Open call 

Start date: October 2025.  

Salary: £400 per seminar leader (for 4 hours). 

Please direct any questions to: [email protected]

Job Purpose:

We are recruiting several Seminar Leaders (mostly theory) for our new certificate course in Psychodynamic and Jungian Theory for Qualified Practitioners.  

This certificate course is designed specifically for any qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, or applied psychologist who is not trained psychodynamically but wants to learn enough theory to be able to bring psychodynamic thinking to their practice. 

This is not a clinical training but rather students on this course will already be working in other modalities of therapy (e.g., CBT, Person Centred, Humanistic, Counselling Psychology) but want to learn about psychodynamic and Jungian theory and how they might integrate it into their own approach to psychotherapy and examine their own and others’ practice through a psychodynamic/Jungian lens.
