Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression: the counsellor’s experience.
I am conducting a phenomenological study of the counsellor’s experience of Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CFD). I would like to learn about the counsellor’s current experience of PCE-CFD.
The findings might be useful to counsellors contemplating training in this therapy in the future and might highlight ways in which the counsellor’s experience could be improved. The study is open to counsellors who are trained in PCE-CFD and involves one interview about their experience of PCE-CFD. The interview will last for about 60 minutes.

Have you worked with clients from a different social class?
I am a 5th year MSc student and practitioner of Person-Centred Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute. I am looking for volunteers to participate in my research dissertation (which has been approved by the Metanoia Institute Research Ethics Committee).
This research aims to understand Person-Centred therapist/counsellors’ experiences when working with clients from a different social class, as perceived and defined by the therapist/counsellor. There is very little literature available on the topic. This study aims to contribute to filling that gap and help practitioners develop their class-sensitive practice.

Little is understood about the specific relational harm that results from being in a relationship with a person/partner who displays psychopathic traits (PDPT's). The main traits include superficial charm, lying and deceit, lack of conscience or remorse and self-serving manipulation and/or control.
I seek 8, English speaking participants, who have been out of a relationship with a person displaying psychopathic traits (PDPT) for a minimum of 1 year and who consider themselves to have recovered from the aftermath symptoms. They will be over the age of 25, and demonstrate a reflexive, sense-making capacity regarding their own journey of recovery.

Psychological therapies are an important part of a comprehensive mental health care system, but it appears ethnic minority individuals are less likely to access therapy, more likely to have negative experiences, drop out prematurely, and have poorer outcomes compared to the ethnic majority population.
Research indicates some ethnic minority clients’ therapy experiences are impacted by their therapist’s ethnic background (both positive and negative experiences), but majority of these studies have looked at ethnic majority therapists (White therapists) and ethnically matched therapists only. Unfortunately, there are no studies that specifically explore what therapy is like for ethnic minority clients who work with therapists from different ethnic minority backgrounds to themselves.
I am looking for people who meet all of the following criteria :who identify as an ethnic minority individual, be qualified as a BACP/UKCP/BPS accredited therapist or currently training on a BACP, UKCP or BPS accredited course and have past or current experience working with a therapist from a different ethnic background to themselves.
