About
Background
Founded in 2002, The Metavision Institute has been running courses in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy since opening it's doors with the first cohort of students in 2004. In 2009 50 students were emrolled across three years; 19 students graduated with an Diploma in Applied Holistic Counselling and 6 students graduated with an Advanced Diploma in Holistic Psychotherapy.In 2010 we have 15 students enrolled for the Advanced Diploma in Holisitc Psychotherapy.
Our aim is to limit our class size there by offering a high quality specialised training in our Holistic approach. Our students take their training into a diverse range of professions. Many set up their own Counselling and Psychotherapy services.
