Welcome to AGIP
AGIP was founded in 1974 and is a membership organisation providing a pluralistic and contemporary training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The clinical training equips members to work in private practice and in the public and voluntary sectors.
Our training courses include an introductory foundation year, a full clinical psychotherapy training, and an infant observation course.
Individuals seeking personal therapy can contact our Professional Members directly from our directory of psychotherapists. We are also a registered charity offering low fee and concessionary psychotherapy for adults on low incomes.
AGIP has members working in London, the rest of the UK, and in Europe. Our professional qualifications are accredited by the UKCP. Wherever you are on your career path, our training and memberships will help you progress your career and fulfil your potential in psychotherapy.

Bursary Scheme
Financial support for trainees enrolled on our foundation and clinical courses
AGIP offers a limited number of bursaries in recognition of the deep-rooted structural inequalities that shape access to psychotherapy training in the UK.
These are for candidates from minoritised ethnic communities, and candidates in need of financial support due to their personal economic circumstances (e.g. being a single parent, low-income household, carer or similar). The scheme is part of our commitment to inclusion and to offering opportunities for training to all members of the community.
About Us
AGIP provides an inclusive, dynamic, supportive and pluralistic psychoanalytic community for members and trainees, and increases access to psychotherapy for low- income groups.
