This workshop provides counsellors and psychotherapists – both trainees and in practice – with a contemporary, evidence-informed introduction to Carl Rogers’ person-centred theory and practice. The workshop will introduce participants to Rogers’ theory of development and personality, and his understanding of how psychological difficulties can emerge. From that basis, the workshop will go on to introduce the core tenets of person-centred practice – empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence – and demonstrate their application in counselling and psychotherapy work.
The workshop will take a contemporary perspective on person-centred therapy: discussing recent developments in the field, and presenting current research on the approach. Along with input on theory and practice, the workshop will involve self-reflective exercises and videos of practice. This workshop is suited to trainees and practitioners who would like to familiarise themselves with the basics of person-centred therapy, or who would like a refresher on person-centred therapy as it currently stands. The workshop will consist of theoretical input, self-reflection exercises, and whole group exchanges.
PESI Australia, in collaboration with PESI in the USA, offers quality online continuing professional development events from the leaders in the field at a standard recognized by professional associations including psychology, social work, occupational therapy, alcohol and drug professionals, counselling and psychotherapy.
