Limitless learning and opportunities
At the Institute for Emotion Focused Therapy (previously Banksia Institute Australia BIA), we offer postgraduate study in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), which is a globally renowned model of Psychotherapy and is gaining traction amongst academics and practitioners. You can study for a Graduate Certificate or a Graduate Diploma in EFT and we also offer many of our subjects as CPD, which allows the opportunity for those interested to refresh their understanding or learn something new as well as extend their networks.
We are a private higher education provider offering accredited postgraduate courses in Emotion Focused Therapy and operate with high levels of academic integrity and excellence. Our small class sizes allow for a personalised approach and a level of learning support not common in higher education. There is plenty of opportunity in our workshop/webinar learning environment for everyone to get involved in the discussion, to debate issues and to practice advanced skills in a secure, respectful, and safe way.
Why Choose Us?
People choose to study for all sorts of reasons and at all stages of their life and career.

We can support you no matter what your motivation is or what stage you’re at, because we are flexible in our approach and can offer a personalised study plan to suit your pace.

Online and Face-to-Face
We normally deliver our courses with face-to-face workshops from our facility at the Olympic Park, Sydney together with webinars. Given the pandemic, we have ‘pivoted’ our method to online webinars, which some would call a blended delivery. Either way, you can study with us from anywhere in Australia and be confident that your learning journey will continue.
