About the Workshop
When ‘contemporary’ is added to ‘person-centred’ it often seems to mean a move away from principled non-directivity and a licence for the practitioner to bring more of their frame of reference under the guise of congruence or ‘the relationship’. This day will consider other meanings of ‘contemporary’ within person-centred theory and practice. Specifically it will focus on the increasing need for principled non-directivity in our cultures today and how the notion of congruence has been developed. Perhaps most importantly, we will explore how a challenge to white, western psychology in general and person-centred psychotherapy in particular, may influence our way of being with those we are endeavouring to help in some way.

‘Reconnecting with Person-Centred Theory’
Facilitator: Helen Skelton
Date: Saturday 13th July 2024.

Most counsellors gather ideas outside their original training, continually expanding
their personal therapeutic vocabularies. The resulting ‘multi-lingualness’ can
lead to depth and richness, but it can also feel a little chaotic. Many express
a desire to reconnect with their original therapeutic principles and regain a
sense of fluency in that way of being. In addition, an ongoing friendship with
theory plays an important role in therapeutic practice, offering a core
philosophy from which we can assess, monitor and develop our decision-making,
and be sure we are doing our best for our clients.
In this workshop we will review the main areas of person-centred theory, look at
the coherent story it forms, link it to practice and consider how it can support
