the Centre

The London Centre for Psychodrama Individual and Group Psychotherapy was formed in 1990 offering training in Psychodrama and Group Analytic Psychotherapy. In 1998 the centre, responding to market forces, dropped the Group Analytic training but retained the analytic experience by offering it as a therapy module. A study of group processes and the use of Psychodrama in individual practice has been added resulting in the awarding of a Diploma in Psychodrama Individual & Group psychotherapy and leading to UKCP registration.

In 1994 a training school associated with the London Centre was set up in Thessaloniki Greece.

In 2005 a certificate course was added to the training programme for those interested in moving onto the diploma course and for those who wished to avail themselves of psychodrama techniques in their already accredited practice. The certificate course does not entitle participants to become registered psychodrama practitioners.

The London Centre for Psychodrama Group and Individual Psychotherapy adheres to the code of practice for training organisations issued by the BPA. We are committed to non-discriminatory practice on cultural, class and religious grounds in selection and training. All staff are registered with the BPA and the UKCP or BACP. Trainers have their work supervised and adhere to the code of practice for trainers and practitioners of the BPA.

The British Psychodrama Association accredits the Certificate and Diploma courses in Psychodrama. The BPA is a member of the Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy Section of the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists. The BPA holds registers of trainees, practitioners, trainers and training organisations. All members of the London Centre for Psychodrama Group and Individual Psychotherapy are required to be members of the BPA.

The training courses continue to evolve as we consider new policies from the BPA, UKCP and trainees' suggestions. Trainees receive a handbook of current policies and procedures.
