Cultivating PCE Growth Amid Challenges: Live 2-hour Keynote Preview
The Counselling Unit at the University of Strathclyde, the Association for Person-Centred Creative Arts, and Person-Centred Therapy Scotland are delighted to have joined together to host the 6th PCE Europe Symposium. The symposium will take place in Glasgow and online, from Friday 21st until Sunday 23rd November 2025.
We warmly invite you to join us for an online discussion and symposium preview, exploring our theme:
Growing in Difficult and Challenging Places
Person-centred and experiential (PCE) approaches are vibrant and creative: surviving, thriving, fighting and flourishing even in the most difficult places. There is growth and development in our practice, our communities, in training, research, and in theoretical perspectives of the PCE approaches. Change and growth is an inevitable and trustworthy organismic response, which can take unexpected, surprising, creative, and challenging directions.
We will be exploring topics such as;
- Where are the growing edges in PCE approaches?
- How is the actualising tendency expressed in difficult circumstances?
- How are we responding to problems and challenges in our practice, and in our communities?
- How is our approach developing in the context of digital world?
- How are our PCE practices evolving?
- How are therapists and clients growing and developing?
- What are the challenges, creative responses and developments in PCE training?
- In what directions might the future growth of PCE approaches develop?
In this panel discussion, Fleur Farish-Edwards will introduce our keynote speakers: Brian Rodgers, Sonny Hallett, Suzanne Keys, and Marina Iossifides. Ani de la Prida, Barbara Malinen, Leonore Langner and Rachel McIlree will also join the discussion as representatives from each host organisation.
