Are you:

  • interested in a new venture as a CAT Therapist?
  • seeking a CAT learning community to deepen and extend your CAT practice?
  • keen to work with CAT Practitioners from around the country and further afield?
  • drawn towards replenishment, challenge and nourishment with time away from your work setting?
  • open to fostering your skills to play a larger role in the ACAT organisation, for example as a CAT Trainer?
  • interested in developing your work role through accreditation as a CAT Psychotherapist?
  • someone who flourishes through study, play, creativity and fun?

Psychotherapy training through ACAT's Inter-regional Residential ACAT Psychotherapy Training (IRRAPT) enables CAT Practitioners to become Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapists.  

The October 2025 intake is now open for applications and you can find out more at this link - IRRAPT 2025.  You can also get a flavour of what the training is like by hearing from trainees and trainers from the 2023-2025 cohort in a new video.  The video also gives you a glimpse of beautiful surroundings of Holland House, where residential weeks take place.

The initial deadline for applications is 31st May 2025, so if you are interested, please contact Niki Larsen-Johnson, Course Administrator or Hilary Beard, Course Director.
