Welcome to The Cairnmillar Institute School of Psychology Counselling and Psychotherapy. In the wide field of psychology and psychotherapy, Cairnmillar has played an extensive role.
In particular, we have been active in four important areas:
- For more than 50 years, we have developed our clinical services and counselling, across the spectrum of specialisations in therapy, through to our own contextual analysis psychotherapy. Our work in this area has given us a significant presence both locally and internationally.
- Our School of Psychology Counselling and Psychotherapy is also now well established. It has evolved from its early beginnings in professional education and training to our accredited Masters Degrees.
- Over our history, we have been involved in different levels and expressions of research, with many books and publications on our record.
- From our earliest days we have given high priority to community education and prevention. This side of our work continues to be a major focus. All treatment and training programs will be vastly enriched as they sit within a constant awareness of the priorities of prevention.
This website focuses on our professional training of psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors. We now have an impressive list of people who have graduated from our programs and have themselves developed their distinctive careers.
We look forward to welcoming more people into this unique Cairnmillar family.
