What if the most important question is not "What does this mean?" but "What does this mean for you?"

At the heart of the Person Centered Approach lies a profound respect for subjective experience, the understanding that each person inhabits a unique world of meanings, feelings, memories, and perceptions.

Two individuals can live through the same event and emerge with entirely different experiences. In Person Centered Therapy, neither experience is dismissed or corrected. Instead, each is approached with curiosity, empathy, and respect.

Carl Rogers believed that meaningful psychological growth begins when people are deeply understood within their own frame of reference. Rather than interpreting, diagnosing, or explaining a person to themselves, the Person Centered practitioner seeks to understand how life is being experienced from the inside.

Healing, then, is not something done to a person. It emerges within a relationship where experience is welcomed without judgment, where understanding replaces assumption, and where people are free to explore themselves without fear of being corrected.

When experience is honoured, people often discover something remarkable: they begin to hear themselves more clearly, trust themselves more deeply, and move toward growth in ways that feel authentic and self-directed.

Parichay is the first-ever Person Centered Therapy conference in India.
More than a conference, it is a historic gathering, an invitation to collectively explore, deepen, and honour the philosophy and practice inspired by Dr. Carl Rogers.

Organised collaboratively by Maanas The Inside Story (MTIS) and the Center for Studies of the Person (CSP, Global), Parichay seeks to bring together therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and counsellors; educators and academic leaders; helping professionals and organisations; trainers and institutions; and students entering the field.

Across three immersive days, participants will engage in:
• keynote addresses
• panel discussions
• case demonstrations
• experiential workshops
• encounter groups
• reflective dialogue and shared inquiry.

This conference is not only about learning about the Person Centered Approach, but experiencing the relational depth, authenticity, empathy, and presence that form its core.

Parichay aims to create a meaningful space where:
• global perspectives meet Indian realities
• theory meets lived experience
• and professional identities meet human connection.

At its heart, this gathering is an intention: to strengthen the landscape of Person Centered work in India, foster community, and contribute toward the future of training, practice, and psychological wellbeing.

Because sometimes the most profound learning happens not through technique, but through relationship.

At Parichay PCT Conference 2026, MTIS is honoured to collaborate with the Center for Studies of the Person (CSP, Global).

Founded by Dr. Carl Rogers, CSP Global has continued to nurture a worldwide learning community grounded in the values of the Person Centered Approach - authenticity, dialogue, democratic participation, experiential learning, and reflective inquiry.

Together with MTIS, this conference seeks to bring these values into meaningful conversation with the Indian context of psychotherapy, counselling, education, and human development.

This is not envisioned merely as an academic conference, but as a space for:
• shared inquiry
• experiential engagement
• interdisciplinary dialogue
• relational learning
• and deeper exploration of what it means to be fully human.

Parichay invites therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, educators, students, helping professionals, and institutions into a collaborative space where global perspectives meet lived experience.

In a time increasingly driven by techniques and performance, this gathering returns attention to something foundational: the transformative potential of authentic human relationship.

Established in 2007, Maanas The Inside Story (MTIS) has played a significant role in advancing the Person Centered Approach (PCA) within the Indian context. Grounded in the principles articulated by Dr. Carl Rogers, MTIS has consistently contributed to counselling practice, psychotherapy training, and the broader dissemination of psychological literacy.

Over the past 18 years, its work has extended across individuals, institutions, and communities, maintaining a commitment to authentic presence, experiential learning, and ethical practice. Importantly, MTIS has sought to implement and facilitate PCA in ways that remain closely aligned with its core philosophical and relational foundations.

- Deepen engagement with Person Centered theory and practice
- Reflect on lived experiences within therapeutic and learning contexts

What if a conference did not just bring professionals together
but built a community that truly learns from each other?
Parichay is rooted in a simple yet powerful intention
to create a space where learning flows both ways.

🌍 From global insights
🌿 To lived, local experiences
Where no one is just an “expert” or a “participant”
but everyone becomes part of a shared, evolving dialogue.

✨ This is where:
• Knowledge meets lived experience
• Dialogue replaces hierarchy
• Community shapes the future of practice

And together, we move towards something larger,
the creation of meaningful standards, curriculum, and growth for Person Centered work in India and beyond.

Inspired by the vision of Carl Rogers, this is not just about learning more
It is about learning together.

Parichay is not just a conference.
It is an intention to deepen how
Person Centered Therapy is understood, lived, and felt.

A space to honour the quiet carriers of this work…
those who have embodied it, practiced it, and sustained it over years,
often without spotlight.

🌿 At its heart, this gathering is about:
• Coming together
• Listening deeply
• Recognizing what already exists within and among us

Rooted in the vision of Dr. Carl Rogers, this is not about adding more noise
but about returning to what truly matters in human connection.
If this resonates, you already know this space is for you.

Not just lectures. Not just passive listening.
This is a space to reciprocate.

Where ideas don’t just flow one way
they move, shift, and come alive between people.

✨ Expect:
• Keynote addresses that expand how you see
• Panel discussions that invite real dialogue
• Case demonstrations that bring practice to life
• Skills workshops that you actually experience
• Encounter groups where something deeper unfolds
This is where learning becomes felt, not just understood.

If you’ve been looking for a space that values presence as much as knowledge,
THIS IS IT!
