Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) Foundation Course 2025

The theoretical base of PCP is broad and robust, which makes this an approach with wide applicability in clinical and educational settings, but also in supervision, coaching, staff management, staff development, and organisational change. 

Following completion of the Foundation Course there are opportunities to attend further workshops and supervision in order to help you to begin to apply the theory in your own setting should you wish. Personal Construct Psychotherapy, which has developed from PCP, is a flexible approach to therapy which is well suited to consultation and short term work, as well as to more intensive clinical work. It is suitable for all client groups, ages, and ranges of ability. In this age of the quick fix, Personal Construct Psychotherapy is often useful when other therapies have failed to produce sustained improvement.

Facilitators: The course is taught by HCPC registered psychologists who have many years of experience in PCP. Between them, they have a range of publications about their therapeutic work using PCP. The tutors are Diane Allen, Peter Cummins, Heather Moran, Sally Robbins and Grant Weselby.

Course sessions:  The course has been successfully delivered on Zoom since 2020 and the course materials and sessions have all been revised and updated to suit that format. There is an emphasis on practical exercises during the sessions, which helps participants to engage well with the course materials and how the theory works in practice. A maximum of 16 places are available to allow for a more personalised teaching and learning experience.

Requirements: Participants are expected to attend all 10 sessions. This is important for the way the sessions cover aspects of the theory. We have found that missing a session created difficulties for participation in the seminar and exercises, affecting the individual and their fellow participants. 

As the course is delivered in a seminar format, participants are required to spend at least an additional 2 hours per week to prepare for sessions by reading the Foundation Guide and completing relevant exercises. A link will be emailed to you so you can order direct from Amazon. This will cost an additional approx. £7.99.
