Train in sophrology. Help others develop the human capacities for navigating change, building resilience and engaging more fully with life
At the Sophrology Academy, we believe that to accompany others in their development, we must first engage in our own. Our training is rooted in personal experience of the sophrology method, with regular practice and reflection at the heart of learning. Through expert teaching, practical application and a supportive learning community, students develop both personally and professionally, gaining the understanding, skills and confidence to share sophrology with others.
New to sophrology? Explore the method, experience a practice, and discover what it can offer.
The best way to understand what sophrology is, is to experience it for yourself!

Sophrology is a uniquely structured mind-body practice for self-development, enhanced performance and overall health and wellbeing.
- Starting with lived experience. Rather than diagnosis and dealing in abstract ideas, we discover through practice how our body, mind and awareness work together.
- An active approach. Combining gentle movement, breathing, relaxation and mental exercises, sophrology invites us to participate actively in developing our own capacities.
- Expanding our possibilities. Beyond managing stress or finding moments of calm, sophrology helps us discover and develop inner resources, new perspectives and possibilities.
- A practice for life. Sophrology gives us practical techniques we can make our own, developing a regular personal practice and using simple micropractices in everyday life.

Testimonial
“Although it can be quite scary to start a new chapter and start training, it didn’t take me long to get confirmation I had made the right decision. The academy is a model of professionalism with high standards. As a bonus I made a number of fantastic friends and feel very supported in my new life as a Sophrologist.”
Testimonial
I have really enjoyed going on this learning journey with my fellow students. We have all flourished and grown as people during our two years of study. I am very much looking forward to using my skills as a Sophrologist here in the UK.
Testimonial
I loved training at the Academy, the teaching staff is particularly attentive and I loved their kindness and empathy. Teaching is very thorough and exactly what you need to start as a professional. I now use Sophrology all the time in my work with traumatised patients and find it the most powerful technique of all.Â
Testimonial
The advanced practitioner 2 year diploma is so much more than a learning programme. I can honestly say that I have come away a different person. The work is transformative and the relationships you build are for a lifetime. The personal development builds gently but steadily over the two years meaning that by the end you have not only the learning and skills to become a practitioner but also tangible plans and practical resources – I genuinely felt ready to start practicing.Â
