“All we ever wanted to know about Person-Centred Theory, but were afraid to ask“.
Workshop Details
You might be a beginning student in person-centred counselling/therapy/psychotherapy or a seasoned hand who wants to check back in with theory. Wherever we might put ourselves on this spectrum, there are usually aspects of theory we think we should know or understand and we are not sure if we really do get it.
This workshop will be an opportunity to check and explore our understanding of the person-centred theory. Probably ‘all we ever wanted to know’ is a little ambitious for 2 hours.
However, this session can be a start. For those newer to person-centred theory, this will be a useful foundation for the follow-up session on Person-Centred Theory and Practice with People Experiencing Severe Mental Distress.
