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
