Welcome to Person Centered Counselling
I believe that everyone seeks meaning from their life and experience and when we face a personal crisis it's hard to know where to turn for support.
Many of us resist asking for help and feel that we should be able to cope.Human beings of course have a great capacity to work through difficulties but there are times when talking with another person in a safe boundaried relationship offers something different from family and friends.
Person Centred Counselling was founded by Carl Rogers (1902-1987) who was Professor of Psychology at Ohio State University before he began to question the diagnostic method and developed his ultimately widely successful therapeutic approach from 1940 onwards.By 1960 Person Centred therapy was being taught to prospective counsellors in Britain.
Person Centred Counselling means that you can expect your counsellor to be non directive and to offer a safe space to develop a relationship.The Person Centred Approach has been written about and researched over the years but the core conditions offered by all person centred counsellors remain constant - empathy,unconditional positive regard(acceptance) and congruence (genuineness) underpinned by a basic trust in human beings' desire for growth.
There are many reasons why people seek counselling and it is very common to hesitate for a long time before contacting a counsellor. Counselling is a process entered into voluntarily,which is why it works best when each client chooses the right time for themselves.
Some of the reasons why people choose counselling:- relationship difficulties
- bereavement - recent or in the past
- mental health problems - depression, anxiety, bipolar
- workplace stress or bullying
- abuse - sexual, physical and/or emotional
- sexuality and identity issues
- alcohol and/or drug addiction
- overwhelming worries
