From September 2025 onwards, you will be able to fulfil your desire to guide others in more than one way at the Educational Academie.

Do you want to make a real difference in this turbulent world? Have you felt for some time that guiding people through change processes touches you deeply? Would you like professional training in the craft of the heart? Are you a connector, linking head, body, heart and soul, and connecting people with each other? Do you also believe that those who learn to heal themselves with love can also be more loving in the world? Do you also believe that a high-quality education is an important foundation for supporting others in their development? Then we have very good news for you: from September 2025, we will be expanding our range of courses as a training centre in Interaction Design (I.D.).

From the 2025-2026 academic year, you will be able to follow three training streams in Conceptual Interaction (C.I.) or Interactionele Vormgebing (I.V.). Below is a brief overview of the three streams: our FOUR-year C.I. psychotherapy programme, a brand-new THREE-year C.I. counselling programme with specialisations in adult counselling or child and youth counselling, and our TWO-year C.I. coaching programme. The diagram at the bottom of the overview of the three tracks indicates the professional fields in which the therapist, counsellor and coach operate.

The same foundation across all core programmes
In all three programme streams, a dynamic learning environment, experiential learning and practical exercises are embedded in a safe professional framework. Students practise with each other and experience, deepen and integrate the learning content offered. Based on our four basic pillars – integrative, scientific, creative and transpersonal – we connect body, mind, heart and soul, the individual and the collective. Professional development goes hand in hand with the personal growth of students.

Our FOUR-year C.I. psychotherapy programme
In accordance with the legal framework that will come into effect in September 2025, this programme is only open to students with specific prior education. Detailed information about this prior education can be found on the website. After an intake interview, graduates of C.I. therapy programmes can immediately enrol in the second year of the other core programmes listed here.

A brand new THREE-year C.I. counsellor programme with specialisations in adult counselling or child and youth counselling
This programme is aimed at anyone who feels the desire to professionally guide people in their development process in psycho-relational healthcare, based on a holistic view of humanity. The three-year programme to become an C.I. counsellor is also a response to the restrictions imposed by the government on the four-year psychotherapy programme.

The current two-year Integrative Child and Youth Therapy programme will be merged into the three-year Child and Youth Counsellor programme from the 2025-2026 academic year onwards. After an intake interview, graduates (C.I. therapists) may be able to enter the second year of the Child and Youth Counsellor specialisation immediately.

Entrance interviews for counselling will start on 15 January 2025.

A TWO-year C.I. coaching course
This course is aimed at anyone who would like to work with people in a coaching capacity. The emphasis is on learning how to build a trusting working relationship with clients, getting to know coaching frameworks and practising coaching methods.

The target group that coaches will work with after completing their training consists of people who have a stable and well-defined sense of self, are capable of taking control of their own lives and engaging in self-reflection, and can formulate goals based on this.

Graduated C.I. therapists can immediately enter the second year after an intake interview.
