IKON Institute of Australia

About the provider

Type of provider: Registered Training Organisation (RTO)

Dr. Rafael Locke first established the ‘Ikon Institute of Healing Arts’ in 1988 to educate practitioners in transpersonal psychotherapy through a therapeutic framework. The inspiration for the original vocational courses came from Dr. Locke’s extensive experience gained through research, training and practice in anthropology, psychoanalysis, humanistic and transpersonal psychotherapy, holistic and nutritional medicine, behavioural medicine as well as parapsychology and neuroscience. In 2008, the business became the Ikon Institute of South Australia and in 2010 became Proteus Technologies Pty Ltd trading as the Ikon Institute of Australia. We expanded our offering beyond the counselling, psychotherapy, and creative therapies space in 2020 after launching our Diploma and Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. Today, Ikon is focused on cultivating the next generation of life-changers across a variety of areas of study.
