Launching February 2027.

Learn a practical, structured approach to parts work that can be integrated into the way you already work with clients.

Resource Therapy helps practitioners identify and work directly with the parts of a person that may be holding unresolved experiences, emotional responses, internal conflict or patterns that keep repeating.

Rather than only talking about a problem, Resource Therapy gives you a framework for recognising which part of the person needs the work — and how to work with it.

Professional Resource Therapy training is coming to the InteMind Institute in 2027.

What is Resource Therapy?

Resource Therapy is a parts-based psychotherapy developed by Australian psychologist Professor Gordon Emmerson.

The approach recognises that we all experience different parts of ourselves — referred to in Resource Therapy as Resource States.

You probably already hear this language in your practice.

“Part of me wants to leave, but another part is terrified.”

“I know I’m safe, but something in me still reacts as though I’m not.”

“I understand why I do it. I just can’t seem to stop.”

Most Resource States move naturally and help us respond to different situations in our lives. But sometimes a part can remain connected to an unresolved experience, carry beliefs or emotions from the past, or continue using strategies that are no longer helpful.

Resource Therapy provides a structured way of identifying the Resource State connected to the presenting issue and working directly with that part towards change and integration.

Add Resource Therapy to the way you already work

You don’t need to become a different kind of practitioner to use Resource Therapy.

If you already work in counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, psychology, coaching or another helping profession, Resource Therapy can become another framework within your existing practice.

You might use it when a client understands something intellectually but still can’t shift it.

When one part of them wants change while another resists it.

When an emotional reaction seems much bigger than what’s happening in the present.

Or when you recognise that continuing to talk about the problem isn’t reaching the part of the person that is actually experiencing it.

Resource Therapy gives you another way in.

And because it can be integrated with other therapeutic approaches, you can draw upon it when it’s useful rather than having to abandon the methods, philosophy or style of practice you’ve already developed.

What can Resource Therapy add to your practice?

At its heart, Resource Therapy gives you a clearer way to understand what is happening internally for your client and where the therapeutic work needs to happen.

Through the training, you’ll begin developing skills to recognise different Resource States, understand internal conflict, identify parts carrying unresolved experiences and work with the therapeutic actions used within the Resource Therapy model.

For practitioners, that can mean greater clarity when working with issues such as trauma and past experiences, anxiety and fear, grief and loss, shame, relationship patterns, unwanted behaviours, emotional triggers, internal conflict and patterns that seem resistant to change.

As always, how you apply any therapeutic approach will depend on your existing qualifications, experience and professional scope.

The Training Pathway

Foundation Resource Therapy

2 days

Foundation Training introduces you to the core principles of Resource Therapy and gives you practical experience working with Resource States.

It’s ideal if you’re curious about parts work and want to begin incorporating Resource Therapy concepts and skills into your existing practice.

Foundation can be completed as a standalone professional development training or become your first step towards the full Clinical Resource Therapy qualification.

Clinical Resource Therapy Certification

10 days in total (including foundational training)

For practitioners who want to go deeper, the Clinical pathway builds upon Foundation Training and takes you through the complete Resource Therapy clinical model.

You’ll develop greater skill in recognising and assessing Resource States and learn the Resource Therapy Treatment Actions used to work with different presentations and therapeutic needs.

Successful completion of the full Clinical training provides the pathway to recognition as a Clinical Resource Therapist through Resource Therapy International, subject to RTI requirements.

Launching February 2027

Who is the training for?

Resource Therapy is designed for people who already work with others therapeutically or professionally and want to deepen their skills.

This may include counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, clinical hypnotherapists, social workers, coaches and practitioners from related helping professions.

You don’t need to come from one particular therapeutic school or practise in one particular way.

In fact, if you’ve developed an integrative or holistic way of working over time, Resource Therapy can be particularly interesting because it gives you a clear parts-work framework that can sit alongside what you already know.

Specific entry requirements will depend on the level of training you wish to complete.
