About Person-Centred Counselling and Supervision.
How I work
I work from a person-centred perspective and have worked with clients from all walks of life.
I recognise and value the unique and experiences of each client and espect each client's unique view of the world.
What is Person Centred Counselling?
The Person-Centred approach views the client as their own best authority on their own experiences.
As we experience your view of the world together, you gain insight into how you view of the world and the relationships within it.
The founder of Person-Centred Counselling, Carl Rogers believed that the whole person must be considered in order to understand an individuals actions,thoughts and behaviour.
There are three core conditions which are ;
EMPATHY
This means that I will attempt to understand your life experiences and events from your point of view and value and accept those experiences.
UNCONDITIONAL POSITIVE REGARD
This is another way of saying ,being accepted and valued without any conditions attached.
CONGRUENCE
This means I share appropriate reactions and responses with you, not hiding behind a professional facade.Being honest and open in my responses,so that you are in no doubt what I am like as a person.
