Course Provider
The Institute of Psychedelic Therapy (IPT) is a UK-based professional training organization offering a comprehensive two-year psychedelic-assisted therapist training program combining weekly online lectures, in-person meetings, and 5-day experiential residential retreats each year. IPT emphasizes slow, relational skill cultivation, robust ethics, and integration of psychedelic work within long-term therapeutic frameworks, with graduates eligible for professional membership.
IPT sits in the more relational, psychotherapy-led end of the psychedelic training field rather than the fast-track, skills-only end. Its strongest appeal is for qualified therapists who want a slow, ethically framed programme with a clear emphasis on depth work, community, supervision and integration, rather than a credential aimed at newcomers. The roster includes practitioners with psychotherapy, body psychotherapy, research and clinical trial backgrounds, and the organisation clearly positions itself around professional development and accountable practice.
Best suited to counsellors, psychotherapists and other health professionals who already have a therapeutic base and want to develop psychedelic-assisted therapy skills within a longer-term relational framework. It is also a good fit for practitioners who value reflective learning, community membership and ongoing CPD.
The course is framed as a professional training and the membership route is for counsellors and psychotherapists who meet IPT's criteria and are in private practice. The training also requires personal psychotherapy as part of the course.
Graduates of the two-year training are eligible to become professional members of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy. IPT publishes professional membership and CPD structures, but it does not present an external university validation, statutory accreditation or formal CE/CME credit for the training on the course page.
The 2026 to 2027 cohort is priced at £5,500 per year. That fee includes weekly online lectures, two 2-day non-residential in-person meetings each year and two 5-day experiential residential retreats each year, excluding flights and accommodation. Personal therapy is a mandatory extra cost.
Learners complete a two-year psychedelic-assisted therapist training in Depth Relational Process, with academic, experiential and supervision components. Graduates become eligible for professional membership of IPT and are trained to work more skilfully and safely with expanded states within a therapeutic frame.
