For newly qualified coaches and counsellors
Do you have what it takes to be a Perception Breakthrough Specialist?
You finished the course. You have the certificate. So why don't you feel ready to sit across from a real person with a real problem? PIYP trains you properly, with live supervision, real case work and a method that holds up when the session gets hard.
Not qualified yet? There's a pathway for you too. Ask on the call.
Qualified isn't the same as ready.
Most courses hand you theory and a certificate, then leave you on your own. That's the gap PIYP was built to close.
"Who do I debrief with after a hard session?"
No supervisor, no peer group, no one checking your work. You carry every session home with you.
"I know the theory. I freeze in the room."
Knowing a model and running it live with a person in front of you are two different skills. Only one gets practised.
"I've got the piece of paper and no clients."
Building a practice alone means marketing, admin and chasing enquiries, before you've ever had a chance to get good.
Change the perception, change the outcome.
People rarely get stuck because of what happened. They get stuck in the story they built on top of it. PIYP practitioners learn to work at that layer, and they learn it on themselves first.
- Your own work first. Every tool is completed on yourself before you use it with anyone else.
- Supervised, not self-taught. Weekly live training reviews and 25 supervised case studies.
- Lived experience counts. What you've been through is part of your skill set, used with care and boundaries.
- Know your edge. Recognise, support and route. You'll know exactly where coaching ends and referral begins.
The Core 4, PIYP's signature method
The pathway
Three steps. You can stop at any one of them, and each one stands on its own.
The 30-Day Perception Accelerator
Four live 90-minute sessions in a small group. You run the Core 4 on your own life, learn the Perception Layer underneath the technique, and finish by running one supervised practice conversation with a peer. It's the fastest way to find out if this work is for you, and for us to see your work.
The Master Practitioner Program
Eighteen weeks of structured, supervised training across three stages. Each module is assessed with an 80% pass standard before the next one unlocks. You build 25 supervised case studies along the way, so by the end you haven't just studied the work, you've done it.
Apply to practise with PIYP
Once you're signed off, you're eligible to apply to join the PIYP practitioner network, subject to verification and available client demand at the time. No promises about income. What you earn depends on the hours you choose to work.

Questions people ask
I'm not qualified yet. Can I still do this?
Yes. The Accelerator is open to anyone over 18. What matters most is that you've done some living, you're willing to work on your own material first, and you can hold a boundary. On your discovery call we'll talk through the pathway that fits where you're starting from.
Is this a diploma or an accredited qualification?
No. The Master Practitioner Program is PIYP's own professional training and certification. It isn't a nationally recognised qualification, and we'll never tell you it is. It's built to make you genuinely good at the work, with supervision and assessment to prove it.
Is this therapy, or training to become a psychologist?
Neither. PIYP works in coaching, mentoring and applied wellbeing. We don't diagnose, treat or prescribe. You'll learn exactly where that line sits and how to route someone to the right professional when they need more than coaching can give.
Will I get clients when I finish?
Completing the Program makes you eligible to apply to the PIYP practitioner network. Acceptance depends on verification and client demand at the time, and what you earn depends on the hours you choose to work. We don't make income promises.
How much time does it take?
The Accelerator is about 90 minutes live each week plus an hour of your own work. The full Program asks more: a weekly live session, module work, and your case studies. We'll map it against your life on the call.
How does the $195 come off the Program fee?
If you complete the Accelerator and your Program application is accepted for the next intake after you finish, the $195 is taken off your Program fee when you enrol. It's a discount on that enrolment, not a stored credit.
I'm going through something heavy myself right now. Should I join?
Possibly not yet, and we'd rather say so. This work has you looking at your own material in a group, and that's demanding. Tell us on the call and we'll help you work out the right timing.
If you've read this far, you probably already know.
Book a 45-minute discovery call. We'll talk about where you're at, which option fits, and whether PIYP is right for you. It's a conversation, not a sales pitch.
