"as with all true learning, personal change takes place in the direction of greater freedom and spontaneity. This freedom is essentially an inner thing, something which exists in the person quite aside from any of the outward choices or the alternatives which we so often speak of as constituting freedom. It is the realisation that I can live by my own choice. It is the discovery of meaning from within oneself. It is being responsible for the self one chooses to be"

[from Carl Rogers in "Person to Person"]


         
Persona was established in Scotland in 1994 with the primary focus of providing personal and professional development opportunities founded on the principles of the Person Centred approach. 


The Person Centred approach is founded on a well integrated theory of growth and development which stresses the inner resources of each individual and defines the conditions and conditionality which affect individual development. As a therapeutic approach it sets out to provide individuals with a specific therapeutic environment: - one which minimises adverse conditions and maximises those conditions which support development. The approach is based on the work of Carl Rogers which has continued to develop from his original writings. It is now utilised in a wide variety  of settings and has proved particularly effective in  educational and communication processes: e.g. schools, universities, hospitals, cross cultural and business development forums. It's strength lies in being able to facilitate the development of understanding in situations where differences block communication and progress.


Persona offers a range of  personal and professional training and development  programmes and services for individuals and organisations.
