My name is Meike Braun, born in 1976. I am partner, mum, daughter, sister, friend, colleague. Humanist, justice fighter, freedom seeker, questioner, optimist, humble, privileged, doer, realist, dreamer, always a forest lover and horsewoman.
Since 2007, I have been self-employed in my own little practice as a person-centered counsellor, psychotherapist (HeilprG) lecturer for personal development and counselling skills at divers institutions.
I came to PCA in 2005 via the MA in person-centered counselling in Germany. 2006, I jumped in at the deep end in Potsdam PCE2006. After my initial doubts as a beginner in the scene about the many colleagues who impressed me, it was my sociable colleagues from Scotland who put me at ease. Over the years, I have been trained and certified as a pca counsellor, trainer and in pca psychotherapy. I am currently completing in pca body psychotherapy. Life is a process.
The atmosphere at PCE2006 and within the GwG, combined with the knowledge that the PCA is something exceptionally good, valuable and worth protecting, led me to become active as a volunteer and in social media early on.
Since years I am working in the GwG as a community manager, in project groups and panels. People are at the centre of my work: tackling ideas and solutions to create good conditions for development, networking, professionalization and positioning.
In Germany, where the lack of recognition of PCA PT is a heavy burden on the soul, and at the same time Rogers can be found in various professional fields, there is a need for convinced commitment. The basic principles of the PCA are needed in our world and are sorely needed in times of war, climate crisis, individual crises.
The WAPCEPC is an important pillar as professional home, as well as for the global society.
Since applying to host the congress in Germany again, I have enjoyed the contact with the international colleagues and have been impressed by the concentrated and benevolent manner and interaction, the spirit of innovation, but also the preservation of person-centered traditions.
To become a member of the board, it fits well being member of the GwG-organization team of the PCE2026. I’d love to put in my practical experience from previous involvement at the association level. It would be an honor and a pleasure to be able to contribute to the WAPCEPC/ PCE World board with whatever is possible and desired and congruent.
