Organisational History

The Institute was founded in 1989 from the Board of Supervisors to the Sheffield University Diploma Course in Psychotherapy and the Trustees of the Hallam Psychotherapy Trust. These parent organisations had been established in the mid-seventies. The aims of the Institute are to encourage and support the development of good psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy practice in the region. The Institute provides its members with a forum for ongoing professional development.

Selection & Admission

Full membership of the Hallam Institute is by letter of application, with names of three referees and curriculum vitae followed by interview with two existing members. An applicant would normally be qualified to an equivalent standard to the four-year MA course, and able to fulfil any other requirements for the Hallam Institute of Psychotherapy. The Hallam Institute is an accrediting organisation within the PP Section, providing a route to registration. Trainee membership is available for trainees and General membership for those who have an interest in the psychoanalytic psychotherapies but would not otherwise be eligible for membership (non-accredited). Full membership of the Hallam Institute is made up of practising psychotherapists, and supervisors in the region.
