The Metavision courses have developed from the initiative of Christina Nielsen, arising from her clinical experience and ongoing study over the past 40 years. The impetus to offer training courses in Bowral arose from suggestions by students of Christina’s from another Psychotherapy course when they attended an open day for the recently (2001) established Bundaroo Centre for Natural Health.

The focus on holistic health is developed through combinations of practices and disciplines, such as Social Work, Acupuncture and the Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner and Process work of Arnold Mindell. This combination is consolidated by a deepening of knowledge and understanding of both psychological and natural and traditional health.

The Metavision Institute today sees students from all over Australia and some overseas countries and from diverse backgrounds. This is a far cry from its initial year in February 2004 in which the intake was a modest number of nine students. It is the positive feedback from the students that has kept the course going and thriving. The undergraduate and post graduate level courses have been accredited with PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) the peak body for the industry of counselling and psychotherapy. Graduates are taking the holistic world view and counselling and psychotherapy skills out into their communities in diverse and unique ways.

With over 200 graduates now the Metavision Institute has earnt itself a great reputation as Australia’s leading specialists provider of therapeutic training utilising holistic education methods.
