Person Centred Therapy

At the heart of person centred therapy is the belief in your innate capacity for growth and healing. This approach recognises that you, the client, are the expert on your own life and experiences. The role of the therapist is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours without judgment.

What to Expect

In person centred therapy, you will find a warm and accepting environment where you can freely express yourself. The therapist will listen attentively, striving to understand your world from your perspective. You won’t be given advice or told what to do. Instead, the therapist will encourage you to explore your inner world, gain insights, and discover your own solutions.

Key Principles

• Unconditional Positive Regard: Being valued and accepted you for who you are, without any conditions attached. This creates a safe space for you to be vulnerable and explore your feelings without fear of judgment.
• Empathy: Understanding your experiences from your point of view, reflecting back your emotions and thoughts to help you feel truly heard and understood.
• Congruence: Genuine and authentic interactions, modeling openness and honesty.

Person centred therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety and Depression
• Trauma and PTSD
• Relationship Issues
• Low Self Esteem
• Personal Growth and Self Discovery

Through your collaboration with the therapist, you will:

• Gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences
• Develop greater self acceptance and self compassion
• Improve your ability to manage difficult emotions
• Make choices that align with your values and goals
• Enhance your relationships with others

If you’re seeking a therapeutic approach that empowers you to take the lead in your own healing and growth, person centred therapy may be the right fit for you.
