Dear Friends of PCCS

After much consideration Frances and Tracey have decided to pull out of counsellor training (BACP accredited counsellor training programme).
Our decision is positive one as we feel it is time after training counsellors for fifteen years for our process to move on.

We have a passion for the Person-centred Approach and that process will continue, the context however is going to change. In our training years we have brought the PCA to a wide community of people and feel we have made a difference by being committed to providing a community learning experience. This will continue but in a different format.

The politics of registration is going to impact on the delivery of counsellor training and as most of you will know PCCS has made the positive decision not to register with a university as we do not agree with this process. Another impact was the withdrawal of funding in 2006 for adult learners. Both these external factors are outside our control and influential in us coming to this decision.

As a result of withdrawing from professional counsellor training we will be selling our house.

All the courses we are running this year and next year will come to their natural end, our aim being to wind up this phase of PCCS on 1st January 2009 with passion and integrity.

So we would like to take this opportunity to say make the most of PCCS in the house.
