The inner attitude of the counselors is based on acceptance and appreciation, careful contact and deep, empathetic understanding. Carl Rogers developed this approach to humanistic psychology in America in the 1950s and demonstrated its effectiveness through countless tape recordings.
A supporting, genuine relationship between the person seeking advice and the counselor is considered a central resource for opening up and changing. Just like the clarification of everything that has not yet been felt, understood, sorted, in order to understand it better in conversation, to grasp it more deeply and to find a basis for new, coherent and value-based steps.
"Being empathetic means seeing the world through the eyes of others and not our world through their eyes."
The effectiveness of the person-centered method has been scientifically proven several times. It finds its way into many other therapeutic directions.
"Man discovers that he is ever more ready
to be with greater accuracy and depth that self that he truly is."
Carl R. Rogers
"The further training in "person-centered conversation" has brought clarification and calm into my life and accompanies me every day in my private and professional life even after graduating. Particularly valuable to me was the sensitive guidance from Renate Wehner, through whom she achieved a balance between theory, Self-awareness and practicing in small groups. After a short time, there was a deep trust in our group that gave me the courage to try things out!"

"I decided to do further training at ZAYT because of my good “gut feeling” after my first meeting with Renate: I simply felt at home straight away. This was to remain the case throughout the almost three years of further training. The further training not only enabled me to use consulting techniques to learn, but rather to experience myself in a completely new way and to grow incredibly. This largely had to do with the fact that Renate supported us so genuinely and closely in our (even difficult) processes and was always “there” in an appreciative manner . Through their handling of our processes, we were able to learn a lot by experiencing them. I think that this made it possible for us to repeatedly dare to have deep self-discovery and thus our own growth. The further training not only helped me a lot further in my consulting skills, but also in my approach to myself and what I encounter in my life. I am very grateful for that!"
Sophia, social worker, January 2023
"I completed modules 1 and 2 of the further training in conversation with Renate. What I learned has a lasting effect through my newly internalized attitude and orientation towards myself and those around me. The non-judgmental listening and "accepting what is there" particularly touches me in a person-centered approach. Whether with family, friends, work colleagues, clients - my conversation skills have expanded sustainably. Furthermore, the further training was an intensive journey to myself. Renate was a great travel companion who supported us with her great knowledge and wealth of experience and throughout appreciative and warm manner to completely new places and to new perspectives.

"I felt very well supported by Renate in the supervision of my consultant training and with my personal concerns in the individual consultation and was able to trust spontaneously. I particularly appreciate her warm and natural approach
and their deep knowledge of human processes. This enabled me to understand complex learning content more deeply
and also to address difficult emotional situations and questions for me and to become clearer about myself."

"During the consultations with Renate, right from the start it was like entering a wide room where everything was allowed to be, and I immediately noticed a clear sense of appreciation. So I was able to open up easily. Renate always made me feel it /feeling in relation to a specific situation. Together we were able to develop and deepen my experience - a clear understanding was then possible for me. During the consultation I experienced what it is like when I live this out of deeper self-contact, what is precious to me and relates to my own experience and how I can then feel joy and be freer and more fulfilled."

I particularly appreciate her warm and natural approach and her deep knowledge of human processes. This was "It makes it possible for me to understand complex learning content more deeply and to address emotional situations and questions that are difficult for me and to become clearer about myself."
