EIT Hawke's Bay

Outcomes

 This programme is designed to give participants:

• A deep understanding of the principles of Hakomi Integrative Psychology, and the ability to work with these in psychotherapy practice.
• An understanding of the maps of character, and therapeutic processes, and skill in the use of the Hakomi method of psychotherapy.
• The opportunity to explore ones own personality and self-organisation, this being an essential factor in developing the personal qualities necessary for safe and effective psychotherapy practice.

Following graduation in this Diploma it is possible to seek certification as a certified Hakomi psychotherapist through the Hakomi Institute in the United States .   As Hakomi is a specialist method of psychotherapy, and not a complete psychotherapy training, students will need additional or preparatory foundation training and experience in psychotherapy in order to safely practise as a psychotherapist.  

Graduates, with appropriate psychotherapy or counselling training and experience, alongside their Hakomi training, will be able to seek work in areas of mental health, counselling settings and community work and prepare themselves for admittance to professional associations.   Private practice opportunities are available once therapists have gained sufficient experience.
