Counselling Approach

What is person-centred counselling?

“Person-centred therapy, also known as person-centred or client-centred counselling, is a humanistic approach that deals with the ways in which individuals perceive themselves consciously, rather than how a counsellor can interpret their unconscious thoughts or ideas.” – Counselling Directory

The three key concepts in person-centred counselling are:

  1. Empathic understanding: the counsellor trying to understand the client’s point of view
  2. Congruence: the counsellor being a genuine person
  3. Unconditional positive regard: the counsellor being non-judgemental
