You will learn “how” to coach according to the Gold Standard of Coaching, the International Coaching Federation, and most importantly you also learn how to get to the “Who” is in session, with a loving, caring, compassionate and heart-centered attitude.

We accompany you using a holistic approach: “Coaching the Self-System”- rooted in psychosynthesis, enriched by ancient Vedic wisdom, transpersonal psychology, ecopsychology, the principle of structural integrity, positive psychology and other elemental concepts which profoundly enrich the coaching process. This practical, grounded experience creates a pathway where presence, coherence, and integrity unfold into mastery—guiding both coach and client toward Self discovery, wholeness, resilience, and soulful alignment, while integrating Self-System awareness into coaching practice. The application of the Self-System concept to coaching is becoming one of the most impactful and fundamental methodologies for the development of true and lasting Self-Leadership.

We are committed to honor and share the wisdom which underlies this unique and precious approach to coaching. Today, more than ever, an ecological and sustainable human experience is relevant to today’s world. We promote an approach based on the natural processes of the human experience, leading to reconnection with our inner Aliveness, source of  meaningful actions founded in wisdom and power!


Registration is open for the 2026 academic year starting in February.


Psychosynthesis Life Coach Training

Embodying the concepts of psychosynthesis, positive psychology, ecopsychology, ancient Vedic wisdom and many more sources, Coaching the Self-System emerges as a transformative approach, often described as "Coaching with a Soul." It goes beyond conventional coaching methodologies by integrating psychological principles with spiritual exploration. Within the coaching relationship, Coaching the Self-System aims to uncover the deeper layers of an individual's psyche and spirituality, helping clients tap into their innermost truth or Self. Coaches employing Self-System techniques guide clients in achieving greater self-awareness, authenticity, and a profound sense of purpose. The focus extends beyond surface-level goals to encompass a holistic understanding of the individual's potential and inner essence. This approach acknowledges and works with the client's unique spiritual dimension, allowing for a more profound exploration of values, meaning, and personal growth.


Our Transformational Self-System Coach Training is founded on the transpersonal process of Self-realization, while remaining strictly and firmly grounded down-to-earth. The result of our training is true Leadership from the Self.

What is Self-Leadership through Self-System Training?

Coaching the Self-System incorporates many sources, embodying core concepts including mindfulness, self awareness, presence, and disidentification- “the key to inner freedom”. These are among the many skills a coach must acquire to guide integration of the various and often conflicting elements of the psyche, achieving a balanced harmony around the center of our being, our Self.

This is what Self-System coaching does- cutting through the constant noise of our inner world, opening the path from fragmentation to coherence as a new awareness of Self emerges. A powerful, practical, and proven approach to authentic Self-Leadership based on decades of practical, human experience.

These programs are designed for those who feel a deeper sense of purpose, who realize certain aspects of their lives are not aligned with who they are, that current paradigms are often harmful to themselves and the planet, and have decided to do something about it.

  • Our internationally accredited program weaves together the holistic principles of psychosynthesis—a transpersonal psychology, pioneer and forerunner of of positive psychology—enriched by ancient Vedic teachings, transpersonal psychology, positive psychology, ecopsychology, structural integrity, and other elemental frameworks. These are integrated with the ethical standards and core competencies of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

    Through a transpersonal coaching approach, participants learn to skillfully support clients in achieving their goals by consciously engaging their innate creativity and inner wisdom.

    At the heart of the program is the awakening to one’s inner source—the luminous Self—transcending time and space in resonance with ancient Eastern traditions, particularly the timeless Vedic wisdom that is the source of most modern psychology and an essential element in the course.

    Guided by a compass of integrity, purpose, and depth—the Self-System Coach emerges as a guide in a living framework, where paradox evolves into the synthesis of opposites, dynamic tensions become resilience, and coaching unfolds as the art of authentic presence in service of being.

    By uniting these profound teachings with the ICF framework, the program offers a unique and deeply transformative experience, empowering participants to generate lasting, meaningful impact while remaining grounded in a highly practical approach.

What our students are saying

Psychosynthesis Life Coach Training- Testimonials

Giancarlo C.- Italy

“...it was a course that exceeded initial expectations. And it is more than a simple coaching course- it is a journey which touches important themes and phases of human existence. Once you’ve finished the course you can't help but come out of it somehow different from the beginning!”

Nick P.- UK

“This course causes a profound change in the ways in which one views and enters into relationships through an increasing awareness of one’s own inner dynamics and those of others. This change takes time, but the steps to take are clearly and simply presented and reinforced throughout the course…”

Sonia C. -Switzerland

The training in PLC is a transformative experience that for me goes beyond the course with theoretical notions I experienced all the seven cornerstones of psychosynthesis, this deeply transformed my vision of the internal and external world.

Supervisions with Cristina were fundamental to observe dynamics and I felt welcomed, never judged, at the end of each supervision the transformation of the content was real, triggering awareness to be able to enter the session with a broader vision. with new glasses to observe my reality and the client's reality.

Carmen V. -Switzerland

Cristina was always available and very effective during the lessons, with excellent content and time management skills. Her competence is certainly very high and she knows how to convey the content with strength and determination, as well as how to guide the participants in the lessons in a personalised way. In a short space of time, he has made an effective contribution to personal and professional achievement. The one-to-one mentoring was crucial and fundamental. Cristina has always made an effort to give very in-depth comments, allowing for changes in ways that were not functional and should be avoided, but she has also always been able to enrich functional passages relevant to coaching and psychosynthesis in surprising ways. He was able to give both positive and negative feedback, allowing one to move towards continuous growth and improvement. The group mentoring is also very useful, but less in depth, as it allows you to get more points of view. This training was relevant and fundamental to an approach to coaching that takes into account the psychosynthetic view, so rich, useful, complete and transformative in depth. Also, thanks to the coaching sessions with the group members, it is possible to experience the effects of coaching in psychosynthesis on oneself and to quickly acquire reading, analysis and, above all, practical tools to help and accompany clients in a coaching process. I am always amazed at the effectiveness of certain movements, questions and ways of leading that coaching in psychosynthesis makes it possible to activate in order to achieve positive transformations very quickly.

Clio S.- France

“...A life-changing experience. The firm and balanced presence of Cris is an added value, and I am very grateful and thankful for having had the opportunity to join the PLC community...”

Andy L.- USA

”Learning under Cristina Pelizzatti at Synthesis Coaching Associates was one of the most transformational and impactful experiences of my life. If you are thinking about becoming an ICF-certified coach or expanding your skills as a coach, there are so many potential programs to wade through. With Cristina, you will not only learn how to help clients with deep change, you will necessarily change yourself in the process, becoming the coach you are meant to be.”

Laura W. - USA

This program was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Cris is an excellent coach instructor with a deep understanding of the complexities of the work. My only wish is I had been ready and able to undertake this training a decade ago. But I am so grateful I listened to my call of Self and didn't wait any longer. In life, we have events and happenings that we define our conceptual timelines against as "before" and "after." This  program is one of those. That is to say, it's transformational in a good way.

Deborah B. -Italy

During her lessons, Cristina reaches out with her heart to the heart of the student in a psychosynthetic way, and from that point of view, she does not spare herself, she is herself, authentic in everything. It was a unique experience, I trusted my choice without knowing psychosynthesis, and I was amply rewarded.

Silvia P. -Italy

The training experience offered by SCA is not limited to a school course. You are not a student of the school... you are a student of your personal journey. A brave caveman who sets out to explore subterranean worlds. A strong sailor who sails the seas, winds and lands on board his sailing ship. A researcher, a writer, who reads and studies his history in his personal library, observing and analysing it in order to create and write new and better chapters from the drafts he has at his disposal. The magician who, with dedication and wisdom, places the right ingredients in the cauldron on his hearth. The magician who, after many trials, failures and attempts, succeeds in creating the potion that transforms himself, things and events. How much does this experience change you? I cannot speak in general, it is not possible to say how this experience changes, nor how much. I can speak for myself. It all depends on us, how much we put into it, how much we want to invest in ourselves, how much motivation we have. Change is a choice and it is not an easy choice. It takes courage to change, it takes courage to change. The sun is behind the clouds. How much do you think you deserve that sun? How much is it worth the effort and struggle to get through those clouds, always remembering that the sun alone, without the clouds and rain, would enrich life itself? Speaking for myself, I am still on the journey and I still have much to do, but today, standing at the end of this training, I can say that I am not the same person who started this journey.

Erik H.- USA

“It has been my pleasure to study with the team at Synthesis Coaching Associates. Their ICF-accredited program has been wonderful, helping me explore myself in-depth, as I work with clients and guide them through their own process of creating the lives they want. If you’re looking for an accredited program that is well-rooted in coaching as well as the transpersonal, this is the program for you."

From Competence to Mastery: Integrating Self-System Awareness into Coaching Practice

This ground-breaking work invites readers into a journey of inner transformation and embodied mastery. It explores how coaches and practitioners can move beyond roles, techniques, and competencies into a soulful way of being—where presence itself becomes the foundation of transformation.

Rooted in psychosynthesis, enriched by Vedic millennial wisdom, transpersonal psychology, ecopsychology, the principle of structural integrity and other elemental concepts, this book presents the visionary and profound Syntegrity Coaching path that leads from inner fragmentation to coherence. Guiding the reader toward a compass of integrity, purpose, and depth- the Self-System, Syntegrity Coaching emerges as a living framework where paradox matures into synthesis of opposites, dynamic tensions evolve into resilience, and coaching flourishes as an art of authentic presence in the service of being.

For coaches, mentors, supervisors, practitioners committed to growth, and seekers of inner wisdom, Coaching the Self-System is an invitation to embrace coaching as an evolutionary path—aligned with the deeper Self and the interconnected systems we inhabit. Sustainable, ecological, and profoundly human, this book integrates Self-System awareness into coaching practice and illuminates the journey from competence to mastery, where the Self-System becomes the guiding compass for practice, purpose, and transformation.
