Humanistic Counselling/Person-Centred Counselling

Humanistic counselling is a supportive therapy where you are given the safety and space to share your concerns. Its core conditions are that of empathy and acceptance.

The philosophy of Humanistic Counselling is based on the principles that individuals are full of potential for growth. All people are capable of being loving, creative and knowledgeable given the right conditions.

The humanistic approach encourages self-awareness and self-realisation with the focus being predominately on the individuals unique, personal potential to explore creativity, growth, love and psychological understanding.

Particular attention is paid to combining the past, present and future, rather than concentrating on one specific are, problem or issue.

What to expect

You will be provided with the opportunity to explore creativity, personal growth and self-development, as well as acknowledging a variety of choices. You will be provided with a deeper understanding of who you are, what you feel, what your hopes are and the opportunity to explore the possibility of creating personal choices.

The counsellor will ask questions which will lead you to discover in depth your feelings, your needs and your hopes. The therapist will be empathetic, understanding, supportive and non-judgemental at all times. The counsellor will focus on how you can be helped to fulfill your full potential and lead a more contented life.
