About Us
The Jansen Newman Institute
The Jansen Newman Institute (JNI) is a highly respected education provider offering courses in Counselling and Psychotherapy, Community Services and Human Resource Management. Our programs range from Graduate Diplomas and Bachelor Degrees to Diplomas and Short Courses.
JNI grew out of the Relationship Development Centre which was founded in 1978 in Sydney by Dr David Jansen. Dr Jansen was co-founder of the California Family Study Centre in Los Angeles, now the Phillips Graduate Institute, a large graduate training centre for marriage and family counsellors. In 1981 Dr Jansen was joined by Margaret Newman and together they developed the Jansen Newman Institute into the prestigious education and training provider it is today.
Recently the Institute has broadened its course offerings to include a wider investigation of the social sciences, including Community Services and Human Resource Management. This has allowed our students to explore new aspects of human relationships while experiencing the rich counselling tradition that runs through JNI.
The Jansen Newman Institute aims to attract people who:
- have a desire to achieve professional status in counselling, psychotherapy, community services and human resource management
- have a desire to become effective helpers of others
- wish to broaden and deepen their existing skills in working with people
- want to explore new directions in their lives
- have already embarked on a journey of self-discovery (often via personal therapy)

- interpersonal sensitivity
- creative flexibility
- reflective thinking and writing skills appropriate to university level
- academic achievement
- a solid sense of selfhood
- the ability to learn and grow from life experiences
