Encounter Group
“a person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material; a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits.”
― Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy

The encounter group is for anyone interested in the person-centred approach. It is about discovering our authentic voices for ourselves and in relation to each other. It is a process that facilitates personal development and that may have a therapeutic quality.
A brief history of our groups
Our first encounter group started online in April 2021. In September of that year we began to meet in-person on a fortnightly basis. Each encounter was for two hours and participants were a mixture of qualified counsellors, student counsellors and individuals interested in the person-centred approach. During the last two years the group has changed size a number of times, with new participants joining and others leaving. There were also two weekend encounter residentials during this time.
Our last encounter was on the 8th of June 2023.
looking to the future, there are three encounter group residential weekends planned on the following dates:
28th - 30th November 2025
13th - 15th February 2026
15th - 17th May 2026
