Our Philosophy

  • Our training is based on the theory and practice of Carl Rogers’ approach to therapy and to learning.Fundamentally, Rogers based his work on the view that all organisms tend to actualise towards health, growth and creativity, a trend which is found in all organisms, including people, whether as individuals or operating in groups.

  • Drawing on the rich international tradition of the person-centred approach (PCA), with over sixty five years of research and practice, the training at Temenos seeks to promote, develop and advance students’ knowledge, understanding and practice of person-centred approaches

  • Training offers a facilitated group learning environment which balances the ‘internal’ locus of the needs of students, with the locus of external realities and needs (about knowledge, skills and practice) of clients, accrediting bodies, and professional registration, such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and its Humanistic and Integrative Section (HIPS) of which Temenos is a Member Organisation.

  • Temenos acknowledges the increasing and proper concern about therapy as a profession and standards of training and practice. We provide a high standard of theoretical and skills training in the context of legal, ethical and organisational considerations in the development of therapy as a profession, and are committed to research. At the same time, Temenos is concerned about the over professionalisation and rigid codification of therapy as a helping and healing activity. In view of this we have designed the structure and content of the programme not only to provide maximum flexibility for students, but also to promote independence of thought in relation to theory and practise and to the processes of education/training, accreditation, registration and validation.
