Person-Centered Therapy
A place where your experience can be heard
You may have spent a long time trying to explain yourself, keep other people happy, or make sense of feelings you cannot easily put into words. Perhaps you know something is troubling you but feel unsure where to begin. Having room to speak without needing to perform, defend yourself or arrive with an answer can matter.
Person-centred therapy places your experience at the centre of the conversation. The therapeutic relationship is grounded in empathy, acceptance and honesty. I would aim to understand the world from your perspective and support you in exploring what matters to you. You help shape the direction and pace of the work. There is space for difficult feelings, uncertainty and different sides of an experience, as well as the hopes you bring to counselling.
BACP’s explanation of person-centred counselling offers more detail on this approach.
