Introductory Course

The Site runs an Introduction to Psychoanalysis course, a year-long programme intended to provoke a way of thinking psychoanalysis differently. 

Applications are now open for the 2024/5 Introductory Course to Psychoanalysis. The course consists of weekly seminars and an experiential group on Thursday evenings at Westminster Quakers Meeting House in Covent Garden from 6.30 to 9.15pm, starting in October 2024 and running until June 2025.

If you are interested in training as a psychoanalyst this would be a good place to start, although completion does not guarantee acceptance to The Site training. The fee is currently £1,200, payable when your application is accepted.  

To apply please send a few sentences about yourself, including why you would like to do this course, to enquiries@the-site.org.uk. 

The Site is offering two bursaries for the 2024/25 Introductory Course to people of Black, African, Asian and Caribbean heritage and other people of colour. The bursaries will cover 50% of the fees for the course. 

Applications for the course and the bursary should be sent in by 1 September 2024.

Previous academic knowledge of psychoanalysis is not necessary to enrol but a lively intellectual curiosity certainly is. If you were interested in further training as a psychoanalyst this would be a good place to start, although completion of this course does not guarantee acceptance to The Site training. The fee is currently £1,200, payable when your application is accepted. This fee will not be refunded unless the course is cancelled or cannot go ahead.

Applicants from under-represented groups, including ethnic minorities, are particularly welcomed.

It is the responsibility of any student enrolled on any course run by The Site to check with the organisation about any Risk Assessments provided by The Site and/or any venues used by The Site. The Site plays a role in responding to complaints – please see here for more information. This does not affect your statutory rights.
