Person-centred therapy believes people inherently seek growth and self-actualization, relying on this for change. Our counsellors provide a judgment-free space for honest self-exploration. We increase self-understanding by reflecting and clarifying without advice. We believe you know yourself best, so solutions come from you.
Through self-exploration and reinforcing self-worth, person-centred therapy aims to improve self-esteem, increase trust in decisions, and increase coping ability. It suits clients wanting freedom to talk in a supportive environment versus a directive, technique-driven approach. It works best for people motivated by self-discovery and solving issues themselves.
It can treat issues like:
- Relationship problems
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Grief
- Addictions
- Sexuality
- Anger
- Difficult life transitions
