Why choose us?
-Pioneering Training in Cyprus
We are the first training institute in Cyprus to offer a complete four-year programme in Person-Centred and Experiential Psychotherapy, with a specialised focus on the Focusing-Oriented approach.
-In-Person Training
In contrast to the increasingly common model of online education, our training is delivered entirely in person. This ensures a rich, direct learning experience that fosters interaction, relational depth, and meaningful personal development—essential elements within the person-centred and experiential tradition.
-Emphasis on Experiential Process
Experiential process lies at the heart of our training. In a world that is becoming increasingly automated and disconnected, personal experience and authentic human connection are more important than ever. Through experiential methods, trainees deepen their self-awareness while cultivating empathy—one of the core conditions of the Person-Centred Approach.
-A Multicultural, Person-Centred Learning Environment
Training at I.P.E.A.C. takes place within an international and multicultural context, bringing together participants from diverse backgrounds.
Within each training group, participants have the opportunity to engage with different perspectives, beliefs, and ways of understanding experience. Within a person-centred framework, this encounter is grounded in authentic relationship, respect for the uniqueness of each individual, and the cultivation of empathy as a lived, relational experience.
In this way, training becomes a space where difference does not divide, but brings people closer—revealing the shared human core and creating meaningful bridges across experiences, beliefs, and ways of being.
-Learning Supported by Digital Resources
Each trainee is provided with individual access to our online platform, offering a wide range of educational materials and additional learning resources that support and enrich the training process.
-Accreditation in Cyprus & Europe
Our Institute is officially accredited by the Cyprus Association for Psychotherapists and Person-Centred and Experiential Europe (PCE Europe). This accreditation enables our graduates to apply to the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) for the European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP), providing a clear pathway to professional recognition across Europe.
-International Certification
From the beginning of their training, participants may register as members of The International Focusing Institute (TIFI). Upon completion of the programme, they are eligible to receive certification as Focusing-Oriented Therapists, expanding their professional opportunities internationally.
