MEN’S CIRCLE – THURSDAY 23RD MAY, 7PM
Primal Warrior | Goodwood

Modern life can feel overwhelming—pressure at work, expectations at home, and the constant push to keep it all together. But behind every strong man is a support system—and that’s exactly what Primal Warrior offers.

Join us for an evening around the fire with like-minded men. No egos. No judgement. Just honest conversation, real connection, and a chance to build unshakable confidence from the inside out.

Whether you’re navigating challenges or just want to feel more grounded, this circle is a space to talk, listen, and grow stronger together.

Thursday 23rd May | 7PM - 9PM| Goodwood
Be brave. Show up. You’re not alone.

£6 book online

*We are not currently having fires due to the dry condition of the woodland and risk of woodland fires.

Person-Centred counselling/psychotherapy isn't just a method—it’s a revolution in how we understand and support human growth.

In the 1940s and 50s, Dr. Carl Rogers and his team took a radical approach: audio-recording therapy sessions to uncover what truly worked for clients. From this pioneering research emerged a comprehensive theory of trust in humanity's innate ability to thrive, known as the actualising tendency.

Unlike traditional methods, Person-Centred Therapy shifted the focus away from the therapist as the "expert." Instead, it built on six core conditions that create a safe and empowering environment for transformation:

Psychological contact between client and therapist.

The client's state of vulnerability or anxiety.

The therapist's authenticity (congruence).

Unconditional positive regard.

Empathic understanding.

Communication of empathy and regard, as perceived by the client.

Beyond Therapy

These principles don’t just apply to therapy—they’ve inspired better practices in teaching, management, childcare, and more. Wherever relationships thrive, the person-centred approach has something to offer.

Proven Through Research

With decades of validation (Cooper, Watson & Hölldampf, 2010; Elliott et al, 2013; Murphy & Joseph, 2016), the approach continues to evolve through the contributions of influential practitioners like Margaret Warner, Gary Prouty, and Kirshen Rundle.
