CCI Co-Counselling is short for
- the Co-Counselling method practiced within the CCI (Co-Counselling International) and
- the network of individuals and groups who support each other to get on with life in an emotionally healthy, rational and creative way.
Setup in 1974 by John Heron from the UK and Tom and Dency Sargent from the USA
A de facto common understanding of how CCI co-counselling is practised can be found in John Heron''s "A definition of CCI" 1996.
Through the years some variety in the practice of CCI Co-Counselling has developed, as Co-Counselling International (CCI) is a peer-based support network with nobody 'deciding' what the true 'nature' of co-counselling is about.
