The AJA Jungian Analytic Training for Qualified Psychotherapists is unique in the UK as it is designed specifically for psychotherapists who have completed their original training yet sense their therapeutic approach is incomplete. AJA has successfully trained many Jungian analysts working within the UK or internationally. We support people learning with us to discover a voice of one’s own within a supportive community of colleagues.

Our programme is structured to integrate classical, archetypal and developmental approaches to Jungian psychology and is informed by Jungian and post-Jungian theory and practice. It is carefully designed to build on learning from initial psychotherapy trainings and not repeat them. There is continued emphasis on contemporary themes and new ideas that are relevant to the provision of analytically informed practice today. The training also draws on research into clinical methods and developments in related disciplines.

Our programme is structured into 20 weekend modules over two years. This allows you to continue your work as a therapist alongside the training.

Please note that the work with your two training patients will need to be conducted in-person in the UK.

Successful completion of the programme leads to membership of AJA and the IAAP.

Here are some comments on the experience of the training:

“My training with the Association of Jungian Analysts (AJA) has provided me with a solid foundation to step into the role of a Jungian Analyst in today’s world. It has equipped me to navigate the complexities of the current “Spirit of the Time” in my professional field, while fostering a deep connection with the psyche, allowing the “Spirit of the Depths” to transmit its wisdom to the developing Ego. This balance of responsibility and inner growth has been an essential part of my journey. I am proud to have chosen training with AJA, as it has profoundly enriched both my professional and personal development”.

“The AJA Jungian Analytic Training has been transformational for me both personally and professionally. It hasn’t always been easy, but I have loved it.  The training has given me access to so many Jungian and post-Jungian analysts from all over the world – covering developmental, alchemical and relational approaches.  I have felt encouraged to think critically and participate in thoughtful and sometimes challenging discussions and debates.  It’s hands-down the best, most challenging, most rewarding training I have ever done and I will value the memories and experiences from it for years.”
