Advanced Training
Expert Trainer in Psychosynthetic Coaching Methodology
”There is no certainty, there is only adventure.”
~ Roberto Assagioli.
Designed following the principles outlined by Roberto Assagioli, particularly in his book published in 1973 The Act of Will, and inspired by our great-uncle R. Buckminster Fuller—an innovator in global thinking and the originator of the systemic theory of "Tensegrity", this Advanced Training program is designed to prepare Expert Trainers in Psychosynthetic Coaching Methodology, through an approach that synthesizes Eastern and Western concepts. This program provides the necessary coach-specific training requirements to proceed with Portfolio Path international accreditation with both the ICF and EMCC, once the mentoring, supervision and coaching hours prerequisites have been completed.
“Doing more with less”
~ R. Buckminster Fuller’
What is it?
A multidimensional and integrated pathway:
The program explores and contextualizes the three psychological levels- prepersonal, personal and transpersonal- postulated by Psychosynthesis within a coaching framework. The program is an immersive experience, using psychosynthetic maps such as the Egg Diagram and the Star Diagram of Psychological Functions in a unique and novel way, developed based on extensive and grounded experience in psychosynthetic practice and research.
Each stage integrates theory and practice to develop a systemic, dynamic and inclusive perspective, recognizing the importance of the impact of the collective unconscious on complex, multidimensional intra-personal and relational dynamics.
Foundations and Methods:
Participants acquire advanced skills, balancing structure and intuition in the application of psychosynthesis coaching methodologies to a wide range of professional contexts and settings, anchoring in the Self to guide their clients along a unique evolutionary path.
The training integrates psychosynthesis principles and psychospiritual methodologies with the ICF and EMCC core competencies, promoting a pragmatic, ethical and evidence-based approach to coaching.
Supervision and professional support:
Professional supervision sessions, led by accredited coaches and experts in Psychosynthesis, ensure informed and high quality practice. Psychological dynamics outside the coaching environment are addressed by psychotherapists specialising in psychosynthesis and systemic approaches.

Structure of the Training:
The Advanced Training is divided into three key Dimensions or Stages of learning:
“How”: technical and methodological mastery.
“Being”: personal/professional development and grounding in the authenticity of the Self.
“Transmitting”: ability to teach and disseminate the psychosynthetic coaching model according to world standards of excellence.
Stage One: The Dimension of the personal self, the I
A pathway to guide future expert trainers in the Psychosynthetic Coaching Methodology, in the development of the ICF - EMCC core competencies, essential to support self-fulfilment, the heart of Psychosynthetic Coaching. The first stage focuses on the multi-dimensionality of the personal psychic region, providing practical tools and sophisticated methodologies to explore and integrate the multiple facets of the individual identity of both coach and client, contextualised in their dynamic reference systems.
Participants learn to take on the role of conscious guide and mentor, accompanying learners and clients on the journey of integrating their inner dimensions. Through the use of psychosynthetic maps, strategic techniques and maintaining an observer's perspective, they develop the ability to deal with internal and relational dynamics with a broad and multidimensional vision.
Central to this is the appeal to the will, a force that orients towards authentic and transformative goals rooted in intrinsic values and the self. This approach makes it possible to overcome conflict, satisfy higher needs and promote authentic personal fulfilment.
The training offers a pragmatic, person-centred experience, integrating advanced skills with Being-based counselling to create a profound and lasting impact in conveying the fundamentals of the psychosynthetic coaching relationship.
Stage Two: A Journey into the Prepersonal Dynamics
A path dedicated to exploring the dynamics of the pre-personal region of the psyche, focusing on how to transform limiting beliefs and defensive, repetitive patterns into opportunities for evolutionary growth. This advanced phase guides the exploration of the basic drives of the lower unconscious, the integration of awareness and action, the transformation of limiting beliefs and defensive patterns through the discovery of intrinsic positive intention. Participants develop advanced coaching skills to recognise and manage their own inner processes and those of their learners and clients, using psychosynthetic coaching techniques with a unique and inclusive approach in line with ICF and EMCC guidelines.
The psychosynthetic approach integrates awareness of the lower unconscious, without anchoring it in the past, but transforming it into a resource for ecological and sustainable change. This methodology, unique in the field of coaching, allows the roots of various limiting beliefs to be addressed with a proactive attitude, facilitating a conscious evolutionary process towards self-actualisation, while remaining strictly within the ethical boundaries of World Coaching. The programme combines the psychosynthetic vision with global coaching standards, offering a balance between exploring the past and acting in the present and future, for deeply transformative and highly professional coaching.
Stage Three: The Transpersonal Dimension of Psychosynthetic Coaching
Immerse yourself in the exploration of the superconscious to access your highest dimension, where the deepest aspirations, the values of Being, the radiant energies of the Self reside in power. In this final phase you will learn how to transform the conditioned ego's defences against transpersonal energies that prevent access to the values of Being and their conscious enactment, consolidating your role as an expert trainer in the methodology of coaching in psychosynthesis.
You will acquire advanced tools to guide the evolutionary path of your trainees and clients, promoting deep and transpersonal impact. The focus in this phase of the programme is on aligning inner resources with the Self and the personal goals of the learner/client, facilitating ecological and sustainable transformations rooted in the ecology of being.
With a flexible and innovative approach, you will be able to teach sophisticated coaching methodologies that stimulate leadership from the psychosynthetic Self, embodying the Trainer of Trainers, the Self, and inspiring its realisation in your learners and clients.
Mastery of this elevated psychic realm represents the pinnacle of transpersonal coaching, where professionalism and self-actualisation meet, having learned to transform conflict into propulsive evolutionary opportunities for harmonious integral systemic cooperation.

“ 6. A person can know all the principles and still not have grasped the spirit of psychosynthesis. And vice versa. True training involves both of these factors: intuitive understanding of the spirit of psychosynthesis and sound technical knowledge.’
“8. Training in psychosynthesis has no end. At some point hetero-training (meaning training guided by someone else) is replaced by self-training. Psychosynthetic self-training should never stop. Psychosynthesis is an open system: there is no end to it, only temporary stopping places.”
Roberto Assagioli- “Training”, 1974
