 Who should become a member ? 

The Network invites membership from existing national person–/client–centred and experiential organizations, training institutes and other institutions in Europe which
– adhere to its principles and its goals,
– are committed to clearly defined ethical standards,
– have a commitment to psychotherapy and counselling training and/or further training according to state of the art person–centered training standards and national (if these exist) psychotherapy and/or counselling training standards.

The principle of local autonomy is maintained. The authority of the Network only applies to its composition, to its way of working together, to its external relationships and concerning the European Certificate of Psychotherapy. Any other decisions limiting the rights of national organizations require the ratification of the Members to become effective.

 Why become a member ?

If your institution wants to promote person-centred and/or experiential perspectives, further these paradigms and support and facilitate person-centred and experiential associations, organizations, institutions and individuals in their work,

If your institution wants to work together with associations, organisations, institutions and individuals on a European level, in the field of person-centred, client-centred and experiential psychotherapy and counselling

If your institution wants to support and encourage the scientific study as well as the improvement of practice, specifically in the field of psychotherapy and counselling, and is interested in fostering the exchange and further development of research, theory and practice 

If your institution has an interest to engage in socio-political processes to ensure the continued contribution of the paradigm in health, education, academic contexts etc.

If your institution wishes to exchange ideas with other psychotherapeutic orientations and to stimulate cooperation in the field of psychotherapy and counselling

then this is the organization your institution should be a member of.
