Dream Therapy Professional Level 2 Advanced Certificate Course: fieldwork and mentoring
In the Dream Therapy Professional Level 2 Advanced course, you practice full dream therapy (fieldwork) with new volunteer clients, write and submit five assignments largely based on your fieldwork, and have FIVE 60-minute Zoom or Phone one:one mentoring sessions with me. There is no additional formal theory in this course. The course includes a special interest assignment. You choose the subject: it might be a special interest in one form of dream alchemy, or in a defined client base (recovering addicts, teenagers, recently bereaved, cancer patients), or another area of your choice. We discuss this early on in your course so that you can prepare.
Fieldwork
You organise weekly full Dream Therapy sessions with your new volunteer clients over a period of 6-12 weeks. (Your current paying clients may also give you permission to report your work with them as case studies for your fieldwork and assignments, and for confidential discussion with me during your Zoom or Phone mentoring sessions.)
Assignments
You’ll receive details of the five assignments when you enrol for this course. Most assignments are based on your fieldwork with your volunteer clients. You’ll receive details of the five assignments when you enrol for this course. Most assignments are based on your fieldwork with your volunteer clients. One assignment is designed to allow you to explore and report on your special interest within dream therapy.
Guidelines for word length are given for each assignment. Three are 2,000-4,000 words, and two are 4,000-6,000 words. You complete the assignments in the order given, and submit them to me as you go. You work at your own pace, and we arrange your mentoring sessions to follow each assignment.
One:one Zoom or Phone mentoring sessions
There are FIVE 60-minute one:one mentoring sessions by Zoom or Phone with me, each session designed to talk about an assignment (after I have had time to read and review it), or anything else you’d like to discuss or explore. These are arranged at a pace to suit you, in keeping with the ‘work at your own pace’ intention behind all the courses. There’s no time limit on this course.
I live in Australia, but wherever you are in the world, in whichever time zone, I always work with you to find a convenient time for your Zoom sessions.
Certificate
Your certificate is awarded by me on successful completion, as evaluated by your assignments and our mentoring sessions. If I feel your assignments (or practise) need more work or detail, I’ll guide you, during our mentoring sessions, toward what you need to do to resubmit to be awarded your certificate.
Start date (begin at any time)
The course is self-paced, so you can begin at any time after receiving your Level 1 certificate, and take as long as you wish.
Hours of study
Again, the course is self-paced, so you can begin at any time and take as long as you wish. You’ll need to allow the time for your practice (at least three volunteer client sessions per week for 6-12 weeks), allowing for the actual session times plus prep and post (record taking) for each session. You may need two or three hours to write each assignment, or you may need, or prefer to take, much longer. Obviously you need to set aside five hours for your five Zoom or Phone mentoring sessions with me, and you may wish to allow some time for prep and post (summarising your notes or doing follow up work) around each session. In addition to these hours, I imagine you’ll want to set aside time, during this course, for deeper contemplation and, perhaps, revisiting some of the theory you covered in earlier courses. You know yourself and your approach to study and practise very well, so you’ll be able to calculate a rough idea of the number of hours you’ll need to set aside for this course, as well as to take it at a relaxed, enjoyable, nourishing, and enriching pace.
Why train with me?

You are in safe, expert hands. I have been consulting professionally as a dream analyst and dream therapist since 1992, and I trained students in dream therapy for two decades before deciding to further evolve my courses into an online format.
Originally trained as a scientist, my approach to interpreting and working with dreams is both an art and a science, based on my independent research and deep work with clients for over 32 years.
My long experience with the media over as many years (television and radio), combined with earlier training in teaching and education, has gifted me the skills to design courses and communicate and teach in an effective and fun way through videos as well as through the written word.
