The Encounters Podcast

The Encounters Podcast is a revealing, insightful encounter between people working in the world of person-centred psychology.
There are many ‘therapy’ or ‘mental health’ podcasts out there, but we noticed there are very few which speak to the person-centred approach. The Encounters Podcast fills this gap, giving listeners a unique experience of a person-centred encounter, and a rich insight into person-centred psychological theory and practice.
