What is Person-Centred Counselling?

Person-Centred Counselling is a supportive way of helping which is different to giving advice. It aims to help you see your situation more clearly. Together we would explore your issues in depth to help you find your own answers. 

Its Founding Father, Carl Rogers, described it as a radical process that seeks to empower and prize the client.

Short and long-term counselling can help with overwhelming problems and painful, troubling feelings. You may feel confused, disempowered or not sure what to do for the best or where to go next. If you want to make major and minor life changes, know yourself better, feel more comfortable in your skin, then counselling can support you.

Who can it help?

Person-Centred Counselling is noted for and characterised by its focus on the relationship between client and counsellor. It is for anyone wanting to make changes in their life, know themselves better, feel more comfortable in their skin, become more fully human. For anyone needing someone to listen deeply, attentively to them, perhaps as never before.

Life Issues I deal with

All issues that span the immense range of everyday human experience, from abuse to wondering what to do, where to go next and the quest for a more fulfilling life.

How long and often?

Weekly sessions usually last an hour. In length Counselling can be short term and focused, lasting a few weeks, or long-term, where clients choose to explore deeper issues. This can last for several months or longer.

The Cornerstone of my Approach

Deep listening is the cornerstone of my Counselling practice, anchored in the theory and vision of the person-centred approach and my way of working is both humanistic and transpersonal.
