Training Scholarships
Clinical Training Scholarships for Ethnic Minorities
The Guild of Psychotherapists wants to encourage people from minority ethnic backgrounds to train in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The Guild of Psychotherapists has a strategic aim to develop a training that meets the needs of trainees from minority or marginalised communities, supports a culture of respect and belonging for all trainees and staff, and one that produces therapists that are particularly well qualified to work with individuals of any background.
As part of the Guild’s commitment to address inequalities which have contributed to the lack of diverse representation in the psychoanalytic psychotherapies, the Guild is offering training scholarships to Black, Asian and other racialised candidates who are underrepresented within psychoanalysis.
