The Relational Consultant Training
“The Relational Consultant training offered me the opportunity to reflect on my own contributions to group effectiveness, to explore group dynamics at the unconscious level and become self aware of my own script and drivers. This experience has helped to deepen my practice of working with groups and sharpening my skills for individual and team coaching”.
Dr. Pauline Lee
Consultant The Hay Group, Melbourne
“The program has provided me with unique perspectives on group dynamics that have strengthened my approaches to coaching and developing teams and large groups. Since integrating the learnings from The Relational Consultant, the groups and individuals I have worked with have achieved outstanding results in short timeframes. I highly recommend this program to any OD or ‘people’ professional, looking to add valuable depth and tools to their approach”.
David Morley

“As one who has made ongoing training part of my modus operandi, I found The Relational Consultant practice of working from experience toward understanding uniquely helpful. It sharpened my awareness of my self in relation, and also increased my confidence to engage others with generosity and integrity”.

Psychotherapy Training
“Training in psychotherapy is a big commitment and challenging because it is very much about personal growth, self awareness and learning about who you are and who you will be as a psychotherapist. I chose ACIS Psychotherapy Training because the training is personalised, professional and ethical. Also, the school is part of an international network which continues to grow and evolve and the qualification is internationally recognised.”
Brad McLean
Partner Tennant & McLean, Sydney
“ACIS Psychotherapy training has helped me integrate into an effective psychotherapist but most importantly the training process had helped me understand my strengths and my weaknesses. The training has helped me integrate this into being a clinician “who thinks clinically in the service of her clients/patients”. This environment created a space where I could look at the shadow side which we all have, and use it to be a more effective psychotherapist.

“After having done careful research into Psychotherapy training programs, I chose ACIS for many reasons:
- Relational Transactional Analysis (TA) theory offers a solid foundation for clinical thinking and practice;
- The Humanistic philosophy and values of both Transactional Analysis and ACIS: we are all unique individuals striving towards growth and health;
- The emphasis on inclusiveness and integration of both trainees and theoretical perspectives;
- The format of training - long-term, experiential learning in both small and larger groups - offers a rich environment for learning and application of theory and skills
- The support I required to begin working as a trainee Psychotherapist, while integrating the theory with practice.
ACIS Psychotherapy Training has been the most valuable training for me and I am a more autonomous and integrated person and psychotherapist thanks to my experience at ACIS”.

Supervision Training
“I highly recommend the ACIS Supervision training to anyone engaged in or intending to supervise others. Servaas brings a wealth of knowledge and provides a supportive learning environment that extends the trainee’s ability to work effectively with a range of approaches. A perfect balance of challenge and support - just as supervision should be!”
Susan Rawlins
Consultant Wellington
“I am continuing to reap the benefits from both the explicit and implicit learnings from this excellent supervision & training experience”.
Al-Freed Saboonchi

“The theory was well presented with a strong emphasis on integration into practice and experiential learning”.

PD - Workshops
“If you want to be challenged in your work as a psychotherapist, I would recommend the Edge workshop. If you want to understand more about what works, and importantly what doesn’t, in therapy, I would recommend the Edge workshop. If you want to be a better therapist, I would recommend the Edge workshop. And if you are prepared to look at how much your work is about you, don’t miss it!”
Gay Mckinley
Psychotherapist in private practice, Sydney
“The Edge series was a pithy tonic for a tiring therapist. Elana’s gifted teaching vocabulary awakens the nooks and crannies. She has you both feeling safe and on the edge of your comfort zone as a therapist”
