WPI seeks to widen access to high quality psychotherapy throughout Wales.

We aim to:

1. Train psychotherapists and counsellors to the highest professional standards in the UK.
2. Deliver high quality effective therapeutic interventions to people otherwise unable to access psychotherapy through the Affordable Therapy Service delivered by advanced trainees.
3. Provide creative leadership in the field of psychotherapy and counselling in Wales through our developing network of graduates and professional colleagues.
4. Promote standards of best practice regarding the mental health and well-being of people in line with The Welsh Assembly Government’s stated policy aims and objectives.

We have a business model that seeks to have dialogue, transparency, and good governance, at its centre.
• We value our clients – for whom we will maintain respect, ethical awareness and appropriate boundaries.
• We value our colleagues – with whom we will work to develop and maintain excellence in professional standards and competencies
• We value our diversity – in cultural backgrounds, theoretical orientations and life experiences.
• We value our coherence – in our shared values and in our commitment to maintaining the highest possible standards in our work.
• We bring our emphasis on relationship to our understanding of social and environmental issues.
• We recognise that health and wellbeing is dependent on our capacity to live and work respectfully with each other, and the planet we all share.
