The Institute of Psychosynthesis was founded In 1973 by Joan and Roger Evans under the personal guidance and sponsorship of Roberto Assagioli to develop the principles and practice of Psychosynthesis in the UK. The Institute went on to create the first professional psychosynthesis training programme in Europe in 1975 and since then has developed in-depth programmes in psychosynthesis counselling, psychotherapy, coaching as well as the application of psychosynthesis to other fields of service. It also has an active Research and Publishing section. There have been many who have contributed to the development of the Institute over the past 35 years. A core group of practitioners and professionals from diverse fields have formed a solid professional community sustaining a relationship over the last 20 years. They continue to devote their considerable professional expertise to ongoing research and clinical excellence, to the further development of the Institute taking the principles of a psychospiritual psychology to the needs of our times.
