How can Person - Centred Therapy Help You?
Person-centred therapy, also known as Rogerian or client-centred therapy, is a type of talk therapy where the client takes the lead, and the therapist acts as a facilitator. It's a humanistic approach that focuses on the individual's subjective experience and their potential for personal growth and self-actualisation. The core principles of this therapy include empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness.
Key Features:
Non-directive: The therapist doesn't offer solutions or advice but guides the client to find their own answers and solutions.
Client-led: The client sets the direction and pace of therapy, exploring their thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment.
Empathy: The therapist understands and shares the client's feelings and experiences.
Unconditional positive regard: The therapist accepts the client for who they are, without judgment.
Genuineness: The therapist is authentic and real in their interactions with the client.
Focus on self-actualisation: The goal is to help the client become their true self and reach their full potential.
How it Works:
Creating a safe space:
The therapist creates a non-judgmental and supportive environment where the client can explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism.
Active listening:
The therapist listens carefully to the client's words and feelings, reflecting them back to help the client understand themselves better.
Facilitating self-discovery:
The therapist helps the client identify their own challenges and strengths, empowering them to make positive changes in their lives.
