Therapy Roots And Flourish

Person-centred counselling, also known as client-centred therapy, is a therapeutic approach that concentrates on the individual's unique experiences, emotions, and viewpoints. Developed by psychologist Carl Rogers in the 1940s, it is predicated on the belief that individuals possess an inherent ability to grow, heal, and devise solutions to their problems. This method distinguishes itself by focusing on how people consciously perceive themselves, rather than on their unconscious thoughts or ideas. Key elements of person-centred counselling include:

Self-Actualization: The aim is to assist clients in achieving self-actualization, realizing their full potential, and becoming their authentic selves.

Core Conditions: Person-centred therapists offer three fundamental conditions:

Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR): Valuing and accepting the client without judgment.

Congruence: Being genuine and transparent about their experience of the client and the world.

Empathic Understanding: Viewing the world from the client's perspective, as if they were the client.

Client-Led Approach: Clients are prompted to discuss their own issues, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors during sessions. The counselling process is client-driven, not therapist-directed.

Discovering Abilities: Therapists assist clients in uncovering their own resources, fostering self-confidence, and recognizing their options. Clients are regarded as experts on themselves.
