Important Update

It is with deep sadness that we announce the closure of the Inter Psyche Institute in July 2026.

Since our founding in 1997 by Dr. Ian Alfred Horton, we have been dedicated to providing affordable access to counselling training and therapy. As the only counselling and psychotherapy training institute uniquely embedded within KMPT, we have proudly upheld this mission for nearly 30 years.

While our doors may be closing with the NHS, the values and spirit of Inter Psyche will live on through our students, alumni and the countless clients they have supported. We are immensely proud of the impact our community has created, and we are confident that this legacy will continue to grow and inspire.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of our journey - students, tutors and supporters of Inter-Psyche. Together we have built something truly special, and that spirit will carry forward in the lives you continue to touch.

With gratitude and hope.

The Inter-Psyche Institute

Welcome to the Inter-Psyche Training Institute

Our name "Inter-Psyche" reflects our belief in the healing power of the client-helper relationship, from the Greek roots "Inter" meaning between and "Psyche" meaning soul or mind.

We are the only counselling and psychotherapy training centre based within the NHS which trains students to BACP accredited diploma standard.

We have been training counsellors since 1997 and have been accredited by the BACP since 1997.
