Episode eight - the mystery of therapy

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 six - culture and language

In this episode we dive into rich topics of language, culture, and power. Discover what it’s like to have therapy not in your ‘mother’ tongue – and why every therapist needs to understand the concept of code-switching. Rachael speaks to Zeynep Kasap (she/her), a person-centred psychotherapist and researcher of Turkish origin.

Episode five - grief and loss

How person-centred psychotherapy is uniquely suited to working with the subject of death and loss, and why engaging with this topic can bring us closer to fully living. Rachael speaks to Kate Hoyland (she/her), a person-centred psychologist and producer of the Encounters Podcast.

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.
