Master's Degree in Experiential Humanist Psychotherapy and in Emotion Focused Therapy
The only qualification in Spain endorsed by the International Society for Emotion-Focused Therapy.
What is the Master?
The Master in Experiential Humanistic Psychotherapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy is aimed at psychologists who wish to specialise in humanistic and emotion-focused psychotherapy in their respective work contexts, who are interested in a deep understanding of the human being and in having effective tools to facilitate emotional change.
Emotion Focused Therapy is at the forefront of internationally recognised humanistic psychotherapy. For this reason, the Master in Experiential Humanistic Psychotherapy and Emotion Focused Therapy is designed in line with the 3 levels of training provided by Lelsie Greenberg's team at the York University Psychology Clinic, thus laying the foundations for internationally recognised training.

Irene García Heras
The Master's put the finishing touch to my training as a psychologist, which was very necessary for me, providing me with a way of working that suits me so well and which I feel is very effective in accompanying people. Its structure with theory, but from first-person experience, and practice, make it a highly recommended master's degree that I would do again without hesitation.

For me, this master's degree has been that academic place where I have been able to integrate the creative with the methodological, the corporal with the rational, the emotional with the resolutive.

The classes are very practical, after learning something theoretical we almost always did role-playing to put it into practice.

The plurality of the approach of the master's degree makes it enormously interesting, approaching the practice of psychotherapy from different perspectives.

Objectives and methodology
The objective is that therapists can acquire psychotherapeutic skills from the experiential humanistic orientation in order to help different processes, especially in the context of individual psychotherapy with adults, without forgetting tools to help couples, children and social and group processes from humanistic psychotherapy.
An experiential methodology is used, with a strong presence of practice and direct contact with patients from the very beginning. Direct and indirect supervision and teamwork are fundamental to the learning methodology.
