Student on Advanced practice and research: systemic psychotherapy (M10)
“The Tavi is known for being the gold standard when it comes to clinical training and practice. It has catapulted my career over the past seven years. I am now a clinical and service lead, a visiting lecturer, and have published several papers, supporting clinical social care and health practice. This I put down, in part, to my learning and practice at the Tavistock and Portman. I appreciate the way that the Advanced practice and research: systemic psychotherapy (M10) programme invites me to challenge previously-held views and assumptions, and to think more critically, creatively and philosophically about my chosen area of research. I was surprised by the invitation to be more politically and social action orientated in my work. The Tavi has helped me to connect the dots when challenging systems of oppression via post-colonial theories in my research, practice and educating. Although the Tavi has its own organisational challenges (like any other western academic institution), they actively seek out conversations to address them, in attempts to be more progressive in maintaining their high standards. If you’re thinking of applying to study here, expect to be challenged on every level, be it academically, mentally and spiritually – the Tavi seems to have a way of stripping things down to the bare bones, which in turn has you questioning everything! However, from those bare bones, you are built back up, equipped with the tools and skillset to take informed positions and the ability to think critically and thoughtfully regarding your chosen subject matter.”
