Facilitators
Those of us, who participate as facilitators aim to be present in the groups for a whole week, four hours every day, turning our full attention toward the group and by our empathic, accepting, and congruent presence try to help group members in encountering themselves and each other.
Facilitators of the small groups (individuals or pairs) will be clearly announced.
If you want to be a facilitator you should consider that it means that you are ready to be present in a small (10-15 members) group for a whole week, four hours every day, turning your full attention toward the group and by your empathic, accepting, and congruent presence helping group members in encountering themselves and each other.

Angoltanár, személyközpontú tanácsadó, encounter-csoport facilitátor és jógaoktató vagyok. 2009-ben a szegedi CCC-n lettem encounter-rajongó, de történetem a személyközpontúságban több mint 30 évvel ezelőtt kezdődött, amikor elkezdtem az angoltanár képzésemet. 2009 óta közel 3000 órát töltöttem kisebb nagyobb, facilitált és kinevezett facilitátor nélküli csoportokban, résztvevőként és facilitátorként, Magyarországon és külföldön is.
I am a psychologist following a person-centered approach, and I have been working with encounter groups for decades.
I hope we will be able to encounter each other at deep and personal level during our week together.
Forty years ago I attended a three-year training In PCA and it had a great effect on my life. I left my job at the Technical University of Budapest and concentrated my efforts to humanize teacher training in Szeged. In 1984 and in 1986, I invited Carl Rogers and his coworkers to the first Hungarian Cross-Cultural Communication workshops. We try to revive the spirit of these each summer since 2009. I believe that congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy – if they are realized as a “way of being” – improve the quality of life in families, schools, and the workplace.
My first meeting with ’encounter groups’ was in 2016, and my enthusiasm has continued ever since. I was a participant first, then an organizer and since 2019 I have also been facilitating in groups by Self Groove (Klubkultúra és Mentálhigiéné Egyesület). I have been coming to CCC continuously for 5 years, and this year I am helping with the organization, so I can give something back to a place from which I have already received so many treasures. See you there!
I have been a person-centered psychotherapist since 2012. As a part of my journey, I have participated in many Encounter Groups organized by the Romanian Association of Person-Centered Psychotherapy or by other international associations. Since 2020, I have been a member of the team that organizes and facilitates encounter groups on behalf of our association, in a process of unrestricted exploration, enabled by the human closeness, safety, and support provided by the group. Being part of such an experience over the years enriched my personal and professional growth and made me come back for more.
I work as a person-centred psychotherapist with individuals, couples, and groups for more than ten years now, in my private practice in Bucharest, Romania.
The Encounter Group it is an extraordinary resource for anyone and one of the most important tools of the Person Centred Approach.
For me the Encounter Group and especially facilitating, challenges and helps me with my personal and professional development.
I like meeting others in their fullness and I enjoy being together.
I have a degree in psychology, law, and economics. I have participated and facilitated countless CCC groups since I was 16. I live with my wife and three sons. Techno, literature, and encounters are my passions.

First, it was my curiosity that took me to CCC in 2011. I immediately fell in love with this liberated forum of openness and friendship, and I have become a regular participant ever since. I have been present in it for many years as an organizer, and a few years as a facilitator, and I can say without exaggeration that it has changed my life. On the one hand, I found new friends, and on the other hand, I met the people for whom I completed the person-centered counseling training, which completely changed my relationship with my clients and my counseling work.
