Become a Psychotherapist

The IBPI - International Bio-Psychoanalysis Institute® is Athena’s first trademark registered for the professional training of private psychotherapists.

Biopsychoanalysis® is a new internationally recognised therapeutic modality pioneered by Prof. Dr. Melania Duca and insured for practice in the UK and abroad.

Our students learn mostly by practising alongside well-established practitioners. Apprenticeship is compulsory until completion of the number of hours required to develop competence within the psychotherapeutic field.

IBPI provides a variety of accredited CPD courses available annually not only for students and trainees but also for the general public.

Our Institute also partners with the best insurance brokers and risk management specialists in the field of psychotherapy so we are able to offer you a wide range of solutions and all the support you need toward setting up your own private practice as a licensed mental health professional.
