This event is an opportunity to be in dialogue and questioning two Psychotherapists of similar but quite distinct in their approaches.
Lucia’s orientation is Existential Phenomenological and John holds a similar but slightly different orientation that has its roots in the person-centred approach. They are interested in taking questions from the group to illuminate the similarities and differences in these philosophies.
