Coaching the Essence
Psychosynthesis Life Coach Training
The Transformational Process of Self-Leadership.
Our On-Line ICF-accredited Level 1 & Level 2 Psychosynthesis Life Coach training, in both English and Italian languages, gives you a whole new perspective on yourself and on your clients. You will gain new awareness of your innate potential for true Self-Leadership.
100% online!
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 centered on the application of Psychosynthesis- the “science of the spirit”, to coaching. This practical, grounded experience transforms the many parts inhabiting ourselves, the subpersonalities, into precious allies once they become reconnected to the Source within us, the Self. The application of Psychosynthesis 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 this unique and precious approach to Self-realisation created by Roberto Assagioli, contemporary of Freud and Jung, over a century ago. Today more than ever his Vision of an ecological and sustainable human experience is relevant to today’s world. We promote an approach based upon the natural process of Psychosynthesis, leading to reconnection with our inner Aliveness, source of meaningful actions founded in wisdom and power!
Registration is open for the 2025 academic year starting in March.
Psychosynthesis, also described as "Psychology with a Soul," integrates psychology and the science of the psyche with a profound exploration of our spiritual essence. In this spiritual psychology, diverse methods are employed to reveal the innermost truth, known as the Self, fostering greater presence, self-awareness, and authenticity. This transpersonal psychological approach not only recognizes our deepest essence but also plays a crucial role in developing and strengthening our Will. By empowering individuals to make decisions aligned with their true selves and genuine desires, Psychosynthesis aims to cultivate harmony and collaboration within individuals, groups, societies, and the global community.
In the context of coaching, Psychosynthesis 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, Psychosynthesis aims to uncover the deeper layers of an individual's psyche and spirituality, helping clients tap into their innermost truth or Self. Coaches employing Psychosynthesis 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 Psychosynthesis Life Coach (PLC) 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 Psychosynthesis?
Psychosynthesis is essentially a psychology of the spirit, 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 Psychosynthesis does- cutting through the constant noise of our inner world, allowing our “Call of Self” to emerge. A powerful, practical, and proven approach to authentic Self-Leadership developed by Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli.
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.

Psychosynthesis is a spiritual, transformational psychology. It is the process of personal growth that follows our natural tendency to harmonize and synthesize the various aspects of the personality at ever wider and more inclusive levels, integrating the personal dimension with the transpersonal dimension.
There is a growing perception of non-duality and self-realization occurring as the personality becomes well integrated in itself and in harmony with the higher dimensions of the psyche, able to perceive new, emergent possibilities from the higher, transpersonal unconscious and to express them in conscious action instead of old, repetitive patterns. In essence, we attain Self-Leadership, able to fundamentally shift how we live our lives and consciously relate to the changing world around us.Will is central to Psychosynthesis and Coaching, and the concept of Will as outlined in Psychosynthesis is far more developed than the narrow, Victorian definitions commonly known. Coaching focuses on change and action, Psychosynthesis focuses on awareness and will. As a Life Coach in Psychosynthesis we integrate these two areas, always keeping in mind the quality of the direction in which the client is moving, the meaning of their goal, what motivation drives them to continue and what steps they’re taking to achieve their goal. We are ACTION ORIENTED: one of our major references, the Vedic Wisdom Traditions defines this as THE YOGA OF ACTION.
What our students are saying
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 PLC training experience offered by the 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."
