Open Workshops

Open workshops provide an opportunity to experience psychodrama within a safe and supportive atmosphere. Each workshop has a theme, which acts as a general focus for the psychodrama sessions.

Who are they intended for?

These workshops are open to professionals from psychotherapy, counselling, psychology, educational, mental health, criminal justice, social work, youth justice, voluntary sector and related occupations. They are also suitable for students of these professions and people considering training in these professions. These workshops are suitable for people who are new to psychodrama as well as people who have experienced psychodrama before.

The workshops consist of a theory-in-action sessions and protagonist-centred psychodramas. These workshops are intended as diploma-level training for BIP students, for professionals seeking CPD, for students of the helping professions seeking an experience of the psychodrama method, and as external hours for trainees from other psychodrama schools. Please note that, while these workshops can be therapeutic, they are primarily intended to offer an experience of psychodrama and not as a means of providing psychotherapy.

Training the Trainers

BIP runs a two-year Training the Trainers programme for qualified psychodrama psychotherapists seeking to become trainers.

Diploma in Psychodrama Psychotherapy

From 2008 to 2020, BIP offered a Diploma in Psychodrama Psychotherapy, a professional qualification fully accredited by the British Psychodrama Association and recognised by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.

BIP no longer runs this training programme, so if you are interested in training in psychodrama psychotherapy, BIP can advise you. Other trainings are available in London, Oxford and Glasgow, and in many other countries.
