Bwrsariaeth Cymru / Welsh Bursary Fund application

The Severnside Institute for Psychotherapy (SIP) has received a generous donation aimed at supporting the promotion of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic thinking and practice in Wales.

The objective of The Welsh Bursary initiative is to promote the application of psychoanalytic ideas and techniques for a range of educational, health and welfare services in Wales. It also offers financial support to students and trainees who would otherwise be unable to pursue their interest, study, and training in psychotherapy with SIP.

The Welsh Bursary Fund may assist with, for example, running or attending a workshop, or subsidising travel costs, supervision or academic resources for SIP students or trainees, up to a maximum sum of £3,000.

Up to £500 will be awarded to qualifying individuals towards the cost of the Introduction to Psychoanalytic Theories and Concepts course.

Please give information clearly and state concisely in the space provided the reason for your application with a brief account of how you will achieve one of the above aims and how you feel the bursary would enable you to promote the insights and practice of psychoanalysis in Wales in the future.

>> To apply, please complete the form below in as much detail as possible, ensuring that you also attach a copy of your CV to support your application.

The deadline for applications for Welsh Bursary Fund support for the Introduction to Psychoanalytic Theories and Concepts Course 2025 is 30/11/2024, and for the 2025-26 academic year (Sept 2025 – Aug 2026), 31st July 2025.

SIP will be in touch (via email) within 4 weeks of the submission of your application to advise of the outcome; if you have any questions about your application in the interim, please contact finance@sipsychotherapy.org.
