Would you be interested in some additional supervision at no cost?

Please send me an email or give me a phone if you are interested in exploring this with me. Thank you. 

Hi there, my name is Denise. 

I am currently studying on the COSCA Certificate in Counselling Supervision and I am looking to start working with supervisees. While I am in training, I can offer supervision for no fee, and I can only work with qualified therapists. I am able to meet with you in-person in my office in Cumbernauld or online, and I am available on weekday evenings and Saturdays.

I am an eclectic counsellor with a theoretical base from the Person-Centred Approach, having completed my initial training at Strathclyde University. I am a 
registered and accredited member of BACP and I have worked with clients in a wide range of generic and specific counselling contexts for over 14 years. I have lots of experience working with bereavement, life transitions, trauma, students, mental health, cancer and neurodiversity, however I am keen to extend my experience in supporting supervisees working with a wide range of client groups.

To discuss this opportunity further, please contact me at deniseatcheson@yahoo.com

Free Supervision

Hello

Would you be interested in some additional supervision?  I am looking for two qualified counsellors who would like 4 -  6 hours of supervision each.

I am an experienced person-centred counsellor, and I am currently undertaking a certificate in clinical supervision with COSCA. I am offering free sessions online or face to face in North Berwick. 

I have a busy private practice and work for NHS Borders as well as doing EAP work. I have previously worked with PF Counselling. I enjoy working collaboratively with client's using creative methods where appropriate.

 My website is to be found at https://www.annehcounselling.com

If you would like to find out more, please contact me either by text on 07474289794 or email at annehcounselling@gmail.com. 

Thanks 
Anne

A message from Leonore Langner, Chair of PCE Europe:

At today's Encounter, I announced the innovations for the PCE Europe Encounter Group starting next year.
Here is a brief description for you, with the details.

The board of PCE Europe has decided that the PCE Europe online Encounter will continue to be free for individual members of PCE Europe.

People who even have an individual membership with PCE Europe do not need to do anything now.

For people who are not yet individual members, it is very easy to do so and currently costs only 25 € per year (or 15 € as a social rate).

One requirement for membership is that you are a member of a national organisation that is an organisational member of ours.
You can find a list of these organisations here: https://www.pce-europe.org/OM-members

If you are no member of a national organisation or if there is no organisation in your country, please contact Paul, our membership coordinator, by email at members@pce-europe.org 

If you just want to take a look at the Encounter as a guest, we are offering a one-time ticket for 10 € starting next year. Until the end of the year, this option is still free of charge.

We hope that a personal membership of PCE Europe will strengthen your connection to our network, that you will visit our website more often and take advantage of other possibilities and offers. From next year on, you will have to get the link for the Encounter from the individual members' area of our website every time... so you will automatically see more often our website... but I'll explain that to you when the time comes... ;-)

Our hope is that you will also feel like getting more actively involved in our network, joining a committee or even running for the board.
Our approach thrives on the personal commitment of individuals and we are open to anyone who is interested in volunteering for PCE!

Again:
Membership questions will be answered by Paul, members@pce-europe.org
Encounter and further questions by me, chair@pce-europe.org

Warmly,
Leonore

Louise Wilson has kindly shared this moving audio from Brian Thorne about the Person Centred Approach in 2024 which he gave to the Person Centred Association AGM.  I'm sure you will find it an inspiring listen.
