    Episode eight - the mystery of therapy

    At the heart of person-centred therapy lies a great mystery. Can we ever truly know or connect with another human, and what can person-centred psychology offer in a complex, uncertain and chaotic world? We attempt to unravel the mystery of therapy, in a rich and personal encounter. Rachael speaks to Sheila Haugh (she/her), a person-centred therapist, supervisor and consultant.

    Episode seven - person centred training

    Is it possible to have training which is truly student-centred? At its best, person-centred training can be transformative, but there are a lot of watered-down versions out there. We look at the threats and opportunities on the horizon. Rachael speaks to Chris Molyneux (he/him), a person-centred therapist and trainer.

    Episode four - the experience of trans and non-binary trainees

    Is the person-centred approach a queer theory? What are the gaps, what’s missing from awareness and what are the downright failures of training for trans and non-binary trainees – and where lies the hope in person-centred queerness? Rachael speaks to LJ Loveys (they/he/she), a person-centred trainee.

    Episode three - congruence

    Being unscripted, open and not-knowing can be a terrifying prospect for new (and experienced!) therapists alike. Join us for a meaty look at a key, and yet often misunderstood, aspect of person-centred theory. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t mean, ‘I think it, so I’ll say it…’ Also in the podcast, what do we mean by pluralism, and what is our relationship to other psychological approaches? Rachael speaks to Dave Hansen (he/him), a person-centred therapist, EMDR therapist and trainer.
