Founded in 2017, the Achology Academy (of Applied Psychology) was founded with a clear mission: to equip students with the wisdom, knowledge and skills needed to excel as practitioners in the fields of personal growth and development. Since our inception, we’ve been privileged to see 1000's of learners turn this vision into reality.
Achology is built on a timeless purpose—the very same foundation that inspired the creation of psychology over 120 years ago: to help individuals deepen their self-awareness, better understand their minds, and forge deeper, more meaningful connections with others.
Our philosophy is rooted in the age-old wisdom: "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day; teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime. Teach him to teach others to fish, and he begins to end world hunger." This idea drives our mission—to share timeless wisdom that equips people to enhance their own lives and also uplift those around them.
Our main mission at Achology is to make psychological wisdom and timeless insights accessible to all. For almost a century, these ideas—capable of profoundly impacting humanity—have been needlessly confined within the halls of academia, accessible to only a few.
We aim to break down these barriers and share this knowledge with the world, raising up a new generation of Wiser People, by equipping our private membership community of learners to fully understand themselves, and become valuably more impactful in the world.
Our courses span the topics of personal growth, mental wellness, and today’s most respected psychology-based disciplines (NLP, CBT, Mindfulness, Coaching and Counselling). We prepare our learners to become more effective versions of themselves, and for an effective career in professional helping.
Our goal is to bring psychology to life for you, helping you apply what you learn to real-world situations and all aspects of your everyday life. Through your self-directed learning and our thought-provoking insights, you’ll gain a deep understanding of your own psychology, explore what your purpose may be, and how to contribute to the world around you.
Your journey with Achology may begin on Udemy by joining one of our courses, but it doesn’t have to stop there.
Achology offers endless opportunities to master real-world skills, become a leader in your field, gain hundreds of hours of hands-on practice, and even achieve accreditation. You could also qualify for inclusion in our exclusive professional directory, taking your development to the next level.
