Welcome to the website for the World Association for Person Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counseling

Originally PCE 2024 was due to be hosted by colleagues in Ukraine.  As this is not currently possible, at the GA in Copenhagen, July 2022, colleagues from Greece offered to host in Athens, and the GA voted to accept this offer with the proviso of a full proposal being submitted to the WA Board.   The proposal has now been accepted and our next biennial conference will be Athens, Greece, 9th - 13th September 2024.

You can read the proposal in the PDF below.
