BTPP have trained ACP recognised Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists since 1995 as well as running courses for professionals working with children and young people. In 2022 BTPP began training adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists. At present they offer a modified adult training, specifically designed with Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists in mind. This course is primarily online, with an occasional in person Saturday at BTPP.

BTPP is an organisation committed to the creation of a psychoanalytic culture within the West Midlands region. Based in the heart of Digbeth, BTPP is easily accessible by train, coach or bus, making it convenient for trainees from across the region and beyond to join us.

Course Overview
