About us
Since 1984, Metanoia Institute has offered training that brings together five leading psychotherapy traditions—Humanistic, Person-Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Integrative—within one shared professional environment.
This diversity enriches all our training programmes, including our Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught and Research programmes, as well as Post-Qualification pathways such as our MSc in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes, BSc One-Year Top Up, Clinical Supervision training, and PGCertHE.
We’re known for delivering relational, high-quality, part-time, university-validated and professionally accredited training in counselling, psychotherapy, counselling psychology, and related disciplines.

What makes us different
Metanoia Institute stands apart through its unique fusion of academic rigour and deeply human, relational training. For more than 40 years, it has pioneered practice-based education in counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, and mental health – grounded in reflective practice, personal development, and real therapeutic encounters.
Metanoia’s pluralistic, integrative, and experiential approach empowers students to develop their own professional identity rather than fit a single model. Small cohorts, close tutor support, and a warm, diverse community create an environment where people feel seen, challenged, and inspired.
With courses delivered by leading practitioners and embedded in ethical, socially conscious practice, Metanoia doesn’t just teach skills – it shapes practitioners who can create meaningful change in the world.
