The Elephant Institute

About the Institute

The Elephant Institute is an independent organisation established by Dr. Adriana Giotta in 2014 to provide pioneering, state-of-the-art and inspiring continuing professional development events, open seminars, certifications, postgraduate diplomas and workshops for existing, aspiring and prospective psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors, social workers and other mental health workers. We have contributed in upskilling thousands of clinicians, presenting the most cutting edge developments of thinking, theory and practice in order to assist our attendees in deepening their understanding of the mind and to provide the most advanced and sophisticated frameworks from different schools of thought within the psychotherapeutic and psychological domains. Our training staff and panellists are chosen from the most experienced professional thinkers, practitioners and contemporary theorists to present the most up-to-date and pioneering research findings, theoretical developments and applied practices.

The Elephant Institute also offers events designed for the participants’ well-being. We provide rich and useful materials, recorded videos, suggest readings and other resources with a desire to foster a friendly and secure learning community to overcome schism within the field and to support people in their professional lives and clinical work. Indeed, while in our profession we are required to continue upskilling, learning and developing throughout our careers, we wish to offer meaningful ways to support practitioners in this endeavour. The goal is to assist professionals providing avenues to learn, grow and improve their skills and knowledge for increased professional confidence and services.
